Please join us for a series of Buddhist lectures with Daria Aichinger, a Diamond Way traveling teacher and student of Lama Ole Nydahl.

The lectures will include an introduction to Buddhism, followed by a guided meditation. There will also be time for questions. A detailed weekend program will be posted soon and will also include a tsa tsa-making workshop in contribution to our National Stupa Project. All experienced and new friends are welcome.

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.
