Lama Ole Nydahl Tour 2010

Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah were the first western students of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. In a constant exchange with his students, Lama Ole Nydahl teaches the goal and methods of Diamond Way Buddhism. His joyful way of living provides a glimpse of what anyone can achieve through direct experience of his own mind. For over 15 years Lama Ole has visited Australia at least once a year to teach in his relaxed, friendly and joyful style.
