Since then they founded 640 lay centres including a several dozens in Poland.

Lectures, as well as meditation courses, are guided in mother languages and in the style which is suitable for our culture. They are fore the beginners as well as more experienced people. The centres are maintained by all practitioners on the voluntary basis.
The Bytom centre belongs to the Karma Kagyu lineage of Diamond Way Buddhism.

The basis for buddhist practice lays in the three pillars: knowledge, meditation and action. While taking part in lectures, reading book we get to know Buddhist teachings, but thanks to meditation we can transform the view from the teachings into our practical experience. The experience we can use in our daily life, maintaining the highest view and using every situation for our development. More informations about Diamond Way Buddhism you can find on www.buddyzm.pl
