ČESKY

 

Lama Ole Nydahl is one of the few Westerners fully qualified as a lama and meditation teacher in the Karma Kagyu Buddhist tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. In December 1969, Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah became the first Western students of H.H. 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, one of the greatest yogis of the past century. After years of studies of Buddhist philosophy and intensive meditation training Ole Nydahl began teaching Buddhism in Europe at the request of the 16th Karmapa. Since then, Lama Ole has been continuously travelling and teaching. Until today he has established more than 650 Diamond Way Buddhist centres worldwide. He also authored several books.
