Zuzana Ilavská took a buddhist refuge with Lama Ole Nydahl in Bratislava in 1998. She was part of a group of friends who started Diamond Way centers in Slovakia back then. She works for a corporation as a Creative Manager in a packaging design department. Being a graphic designer, Zuzana helps co-edit and co-design Slovak Buddhism Today magazine and Diamond Way book covers. She was asked by Lama Ole to teach in 2009. Zuzana lives with her son in Bratislava just a few meters from a Buddhist Center.
Common Meditation in Reykjavík Buddhist Center
You can join us every Wednesday for the 16th Karmapa Meditation – a very condensed and effective practice, leading to a fresh, wider and less personal view of the world. It was given by 16th Karmapa, Ranjung Rigpe Dorje in the late sixties to Ole and Hannah Nydahl, with a wish to bring it to the Western people.
All newcomers are especially invited to attend the introductory lecture on Diamond Way Buddhism (in English), which takes place before the meditation. No previous experience or preparation is required and participation is free of charge. If you wish to come, you have to first contact us to announce your arrival and for further information.
There is a possibility of buying Buddhist books.
Our Center is located on Suðurlandsbraut 16 (on the left side of Islandsbanki), 3rd floor on the left.
