Join us for a lecture and meditation with traveling teacher Carola Lofton. Carola will give an introduction to Diamond Way Buddhist teachings and meditation.

“Meditation is mind’s gift to itself.” - Lama Ole Nydahl

To start a meditation, we first calm and focus the mind. To do this we usually concentrate on the breath or on an object. We then use this focussed attention to develop insight. The ultimate aim of Buddhist meditation is insight into the nature of mind – enlightenment.

In 2002, at Lama Ole’s request, she began giving formal Dharma teachings and has since traveled through the Americas and Europe sharing his experience. Carola traveled with Lama Ole for seven years around the world. She lives in Austin and teaches German.
