DIAMOND WAY BUDDHIST MEDITATION RETREAT CENTER IN ROPKI

Our place is one of many lay Diamond Way Buddhist meditation centers of the Diamond Way Buddhist Karma Kagyu Lineage Association of Poland.

Ropki center was established in 1999 by Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah, under the guidance of the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje.  It is currently led by our main teacher, Lama Ole Nydahl, under the patronage of the 17th Karmapa, Thaje Dorje head of the Karma Kagyu school.

The center is in a picturesque valley in the Beskid Niski mountains in southern Poland, an incredibly beautiful and quiet area, perfect for meditation retreats.

The center was created with all practitioners of our Diamond Way centers in mind, as a place where they can deepen their knowledge and experience through meditation retreats.

All interested in Buddhist meditation are welcome to join an open meditation session every Saturday at 11 AM.

Buddhist meditation develops our enlightened inner qualities, the same shown by Buddhas and enlightened teachers, which we in fact already possess. Fearlessness, joy, and active compassion are the results of regular practice of Buddhist meditation.

MEDITATION

You are welcome to join us for a public meditation every Saturday at 11:00 AM.

There will be a short introduction followed by a guided meditation. The regular meditation is the Guru Yoga meditation on the 16 Karmapa, it lasts about half an hour, it can be guided in English and requires no preparation. If you want to visit us another day, please call or text us beforehand.

At our center, you can borrow or buy books on Buddhism.
