Diamond Way Northeast Retreat Center

The Northeast Retreat Center is a hub for Diamond Way Buddhist practice in the North-Eastern region of North America.

It is a place for meditation retreats, courses with Diamond Way teachers and Lamas, and a place to enjoy and deepen friendships. Resting on a high plateau with 270 degree views of inspiring forested hills, it features flat open fields at a high altitude that show the freedom of space and create the conditions for us to recognize our mind’s full potential and richness. Sustained by the friendship and joyful effort of our regional sangha, the retreat center is a living expression of the 1,000 year-old Karma Kagyu transmission of Tibetan Buddhism and the activity of our root teacher, Lama Ole Nydahl. Lama Ole gave it the Tibetan name Karma Dondrub Ling, which means "Place of Accomplishment”. The Northeast Retreat Center is part of an international non-profit network of over 600 lay meditation centers within the Karma Kagyu lineage. These centers were founded by Lama Ole Nydahl according to the wishes of H.H. 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje and today are under the spiritual authority of H.H. 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje. "The nature of mind is beyond birth and death, of coming and going and everything, and this is the type of place where you can realize that." — A quote from Lama Ole Nydahl during his first visit to the Retreat Center in November 2015.

First weekend of September we gathered for the national Labor day course - about 70 friends from all over the US, Canada and even Europe came together and it was such an inspiring time! We meditated together, listened to the teachings of traveling teachers, joined in the streaming teachings with Lama Ole and had a lot of fun just being together again. So many treasured memories have been created! What a blessing it is to have such deep and meaningful connections...

It's been over 2 years since we were able to invite and host traveling teachers from outside of the US due to the pandemic, so finally we had a great chance to have Mike Achladiotis from Athens come and share his stories and meditate with us. He started off his month long US tour at our blissful retreat center in New York. It's been a long time since so many friends from the region gathered together at the NRC for the whole weekend. As usual, the weekend was filled with joyful activity, meditation, and teachings with Mike. We were reminded once again, that Lama Ole's blessing and activity is being carried on by us, his students, and we are so very grateful for all the amazing connections we have created and honored to represent the lineage.
