The Polish weekend It all started out innocently. The EC sangha invited Artur Przybysławski and Rafał Olech for a weekend to give teachings and share their experience. The Polish EC sangha members soon decided to turn this visit into “The Polish Weekend” with everything that went with it. We made plans for decoration, food and the party of course. On Friday 31st January – the first day of the course – we decorated the pub and for the rest of the weekend the colours red and white were dominating the pub, turning it into an even more cosy place. For the following two days only Polish food was b ..read more

Bad for the photographers and for the friends who like to see some photos… But we managed to catch some pictures on the only real winter day so far. And lets see what the next weeks will bring.

Mandala Tour 2020 – visiting the homes of the sangha To start off 2020 in the Europe Center, the Sangha decided to see where the friends outside of the EC live in the small town of Immenstadt. So came the idea of doing the Mandala Tour; a pub crawl of friends living spaces filled with snacks, stories, cozy furniture if you were the first to arrive, and non alcoholic drinks! Entering the homes of the friends, to meet their families and their tastes of living was a great experience and gave the opportunity to get to know someone in a deeper way. To see their altars, their dreams for the future ..read more

EC team workshop day

EC team workshop day A wish appeared and it is slowly coming true. After a time with a lot of work but not so much clarity, the wish of the Sangha appeared to get to know more about their friends, who is involved where and what are they doing?! First the group of people that help us in difficult times, so called trustees, introduced us to their idea of how to start a process of how to have more transparency and communication between the teams. In this very meeting they were sowing the seed for great development in our center. Referring to this first meeting, two people got the mandate from th ..read more

New Year and Dive in 2020 As every year, we came together to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the Europe Center. It was a great pleasure not only for the adults but also for the kids. The children brought light into the darkness through a joyful torch walk around the EC up to the hill. Meanwhile, many friends enjoyed the last sessions of meditation of 2019. While waiting for the streaming with Lama Ole from the New Year’s Course in Hamburg, we shared time together over our favorite desserts, filling the pub with laughter and excitement. In the background, the fireworks lit up the courtyard with co ..read more

How the EC Sangha made a fantastic Xmas 2019 There is a lot to organise for an event like Christmas at the EC. Usually we don’t talk so so much about our hidden heroes. But for Christmas and the time between the years we had special conditions because most of the residents had gone away on holiday. A great team formed during the weeks before and shared everything that had to be organised for these special days. For the Xmas evening ten friends took the responsibility to fill all the hungry stomachs with a wonderful, traditional Bavarian Xmas dinner. Other friends decorated the Pub. With good ..read more

Nyndro Weekend What a cosy weekend at the EC! Sometimes it seems like it might be peaceful and quiet at the Europe Center, but when you look closely you will always find that there is something happening! On the weekend from 13 –15.12.2019 we had a Nyndro – weekend, which means that we had quite a few friends coming and meditating together in numerous sessions, making a step towards finishing the foundational practises and bonding on the deepest possible level. On top we had a lovely arts and crafts workshop taking place. Our Europe Center kids could create all kinds of Christmas decorations ..read more

Weekend Course with Steve James The beginning of December was rich with events at our beautiful Europe Center. We hosted a traveling teacher from London, Steve James, who has been giving lectures—upon request of Lama Ole—for more than 20 years. Steve came with his whole family, and his sons were especially glad to check out the Allgäu countryside. Steve shared his stories and experience with great precision and the special touch of British humor and style. A highlight was the saga of finding and buying the Beaufoy Institute – our Diamond Way Buddhist Center in London. On Saturday evening, a f ..read more

Villa 108 years celebration! We all came together to celebrate our beautiful art nouveau style villa in the Europe Center. It was built in 1911 according to the wishes of the Martini family, who owned a textile company in Augsburg. The house – as well as its interior and furnishings – is under monumental protection and has been kept in good shape until today. Because 108 is an auspicious number for Diamond Way Buddhists, the villa turning 108 years old gave us a good reason to celebrate together. The place was filled with the fine and delicious aroma of Christmas cookies that the kids had bee ..read more

Jan Noutsos at the Europe Center What can you expect when Jan Noutsos, a long student of Lama Ole and traveling teacher, comes to EC to help once again to understand that compassion and wisdom are two sides of one medal. A lot of jokes, a lot of self-irony, a lot of stories and most of all a vivid experience, which simply samples this theoretical construct. Jan, who is co-running the retreat center KBL in Greece, experienced in what it means to put the others in front of yourself. As he would say, we need „strong legs“ representing compassion and good guiding eyes for wisdom. These help to fu ..read more
