In
1969 the Danish couple Hannah and Ole Nydahl, while
on their honeymoon in Nepal, became the first western
students of H.H. the 16th Karmapa, one of
the greatest Buddhist masters of the last century and
head of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. After
completing three years of Buddhist philosophy studies
and intensive meditation training Lama Ole began teaching
Buddhism in Europe at the request of the 16th Karmapa.
Lama Ole has since transmitted the blessing of the lineage
in a different city nearly every day, traveling and
teaching worldwide. His depth of knowledge and dynamic
teachings inspire thousands of people at his lectures
and meditation retreats. Challenging people's concepts of life
and Buddhism in an unorthodox manner, he has been a
major driving force in bringing Buddhism to the West,
and to date has established more than 560 Diamond Way
Buddhist centers in 44 countries around the world. Since
1989, he has visited New Zealand almost every year.
