About Daria

Daria met Lama Ole and took refuge in early 1999 in Russia. In late 2001, she moved to Toronto, Canada, to help establish the DWB Center there. In the spring of 2006, Lama Ole asked her to travel and share her Buddhist experience with friends. She has lived and supported center activities in Russia, Canada, Australia, the USA, and now Germany. Daria has raised three beautiful daughters, loves sports—especially tennis—and enjoys nature. In 2019, she moved to Berlin to live with her husband. Since early 2024, they have been the newest members of the Europe Center Buddhist community and are happily living near their teacher, Lama Ole Nydahl, in southern Germany.

About Us

Diamond Way Buddhist Center Minneapolis belongs to an international non-profit network of over 600 lay Diamond Way Buddhist centers of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, founded by Lama Ole Nydahl and under the spiritual guidance of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje.

Diamond Way Buddhism offers practical and effective methods to realize mind’s inherent richness for the benefit of all. With an accessible and modern style, it works with people’s confidence and desire, using every situation in life to develop fearlessness and joy. We always present a basic introduction for newcomers, and the meditations are guided in English.
