Events Timeline

Diamond Way Buddhism UK: Major Events Timeline

Having done more than a little sifting though the Diamond Way Buddhism UK archives, we at the Diamond Way Buddhism UK blog have put together a timeline of important dharma teachings and events from the very first visit of Lama Ole Nydahl to the UK in 1994 up to the present day. They are in reverse chronological order, together with a few photos and publicity designs. We’ll update this page periodically as more big events happen.

We’d love to hear any impressions or stories from anyone who attended any of these events. Especially, if you have any photos you’d like to share, please scan them and email them to: [email protected]
