“The essence of our practice can be described as transforming suffering into happiness” - Thich Nhat Hanh.
We are on summer break in June and July. We are looking forward to serve you again in August.
Welcome to Our Retreat Center
We believe in retreat as a way to help all people achieve their personal, spiritual, and professional goals. We practice and live the Buddhist tradition of Je Tsongkapa (who lived 1357-1419). The center was founded 19 years ago by Americans who were trained in this tradition by Khen Rinpoche, Geshe Lobsang Tharchin (1921-2004), one of the greatest Tibetan lamas of modern times.
Diamond Mountain Retreat Center, wholeheartedly welcomes everyone: users of the ancient methods for attaining deeper spiritual realization as well as modern secular seekers after a happier, more balanced life. With our deep and expansive knowledge of meditation and retreat, we can support your journey, no matter what your level of experience is.
Diamond Mountain retreat houses are available for a solo retreat or group rentals. We are an eco-friendly retreat center, an Arizona religious non-profit organization 501(c)3 since 2001.
