Lama Ole Nydahl

Almost every day Lama Ole is in a different city, passing on Buddha's teachings. Since he and his wife Hannah met the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa while honeymooning in Nepal in 1968, they have dedicated their lives to Buddhism. They spent three years in the Himalayas as Karmapa's personal students receiving Buddhist teachings and developing the needed experience in meditation.

Other than passing on vivid and authentic Buddhist teachings (always with a touch of dry Danish humour) in his frequent lectures, Lama Ole also gives longer meditation courses to teach the timeless practical methods of Diamond Way Buddhism, such as the foundational practices or Phowa, a meditation which is very useful at the moment of death. Since the death of the 16th Karmapa in 1981, Lama Ole Nydahl has kept the Diamond Way Centres of the Karma Kagyu Lineage around the world together. There are now over 600 centres in 44 countries worldwide, with thousands of friends meditating and studying in America, England, Australia and Canada, with active and energetic groups in South America, Russia, and all over Europe. Lama Ole continues to work with the centres under the spiritual guidance of the 17th Karmapa, Thaye Dorje.
