Quotes.
Diamond Way (Skt. Vajrayana / Tib. Dorje Thegpa): also called Tantrayana and Mantrayana. It is the highest view within the Great Way (Skt. Mahayana). With enlightened mind as the basis, the profound and fast methods of the Diamond Way turn the goal - full enlightenment - into the path. Utilizing methods of identification, it can only be practiced with a teacher (lama) and the view of seeing everything as fundamentally pure.
-- Quoted from: 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Pure View: the view in the Diamond Way. One practices seeing the world and all beings as the self-liberating play of space.
-- Quoted from: 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Tantra, Tantric, Buddhist (Skt.):
1. The path in which identification with enlightenment and holding the pure view are the most important methods. The goal, buddhahood, becomes the path. A fast way to enlightenment, the prerequisites are: pure view, confidence in one's own mind and in one's lama, and a compassionate and courageous attitude (enlightened mind).
2. The tantras are the individual teachings given by the Buddha on the Diamond Way level, e.g. the Tantra of the Buddha of Highest Bliss (Skt. Chakrasamvara Tantra).
-- Quoted from: 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Mantra (Tib. Ngag): the vibration of a buddha form. Reciting a mantra activates the buddha form's powerfield. Many Diamond Way meditations have a phase where mantras are repeated.
-- Quoted from: 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.

Is Lama Ole's Diamond Way a Sectarian Way?
About.
i think it doesn't have to be.
i've met following accusations:
Accusation 1: That we tell that our Way is differing from Buddhism.
Answer 1: i do not think that's true, never heard nor met anything that would confirm this accusation.
Accusation 2: We tell that Lama Ole's Diamond Way is Superior to other schools.
Answer 2: i do not think in terms of superior & inferior schools. i know there are differencies in methods, that there's Modest Way - leading to Liberation, Great Way - Leading to Enlightenment and Diamond Way - super fast Way leading to Enlightenment, a part of Great Way. People with bad karma are not denied the Way. i could meditate, i think progress is hard but then those who purify worse karma Shine as Great Diamonds, are Heroes. It's not about barrier for 'Inferior Development', it's more about 'Lack of Motivation' barrier of those who do not wish to involve themselves so much. Diamond Way is super fast thanks to Guru Rinpoche's lessons, the Guru Yoga. Diamond Way is present in other Schools than Lama Ole's Diamond Way as well. Fast development has it's price - trust & identification with Lama. Not everyone is willing to accept that way, i respect other schools. Wisdom & Compassion are very important for me, these are methods of Great Way & Diamond Way - but please do not deny us praising merits of Diamond Way, even if You choose to not follow it.
Accusation 3: Lama Ole's Diamond Way is a Sect who berates & insults other schools as worse.
Answer 3: As above, i only tell benefits & price of really fast development, while respecting other schools. Shamar Rinpoche's lessons are of non-sectarian nature as well. Shamar Rinpoche is the most important student of Buddha Karmapa, the very important part of Lama Ole's Diamond Way. Sect is a division, separation & a movement of religious protest. i read Hannah Nydahl's lesson that we can avoid sectarian accusations by taking refuge in Lesson, instead of Teacher.
... after participating in these arguments, i've contacted a Bhutanese Monk from Ogyen Trinley Dorje's School, with words:
'hello, how i can be of less sectarian divisions between our schools? how can i help & learn? Thanks for Your time & effort.'
later i added:
'i can take Refuge in Lessons but not in Teachers'.
it was this Monk's merit however, for reaching for me first - he clearly wishes to abolish such obstacles as well.
i think that even rivalring Buddhist Schools can try to come to terms, to learn & benefit each others.
... how this will evolve, we shall see.
What is a Sect?
i think a sect is a group of religious protest, a group that separates.
for more, see if You wish: About Sects, Sects, Understanding Fear of Sects.
Wishes.
May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,
May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,
May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,
May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.
Mantras.
