Lama Ole Nydahl is one of the few Westerners fully qualified as a lama and meditation teacher in the Karma Kagyu Buddhist tradition. After completing three years of intensive meditation training in 1972, Nydahl began teaching Buddhism in Europe at the request of H.H. 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He has since transmitted the blessing of the lineage in a different city nearly every day, traveling and teaching worldwide as an authorized lama. His depth of knowledge and dynamic teachings inspire thousands of people at his lectures and retreats in North and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and Asia. ** Tickets are available through the Portland Art Museum Box Office (1219 SW Park Ave), online, or at Diamond Way Buddhist Center, Portland during weekly meditations. All tickets subject to $1 service charge.
