Ole and Hannah Nydahl became the first Western students of the great Tibetan master, His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, in 1968. Their exciting travels on the worn path between the green lowlands of Europe to the peaks of the Himalayas, led them to experience the skillful teachings of numerous Tibetan lamas who helped transform their lives into "limitless clarity and joy."
This seminal work offers the liberating and powerful methods of Diamond Way Buddhism for readers seeking to incorporate Buddhist practice into their daily lives.
In 1969 Ole and Hannah Nydahl became the first Western students of H.H. the Karmapa, the head of the Kagyu tradition of Yogis in Tibetan Buddhism. After their years of practice in the Himalayas, he authorized them to teach and start centers in his name. They have continued this work ever since. Riding the Tiger is the inside story of the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. In his refreshingly unsentimental style, Lama Ole shows all aspects of the work. With breathtaking intensity, he highlights both healthy and unhealthy tendencies in the light of the Buddha's ultimate aim: To bring about the fully developed beings whose every activity blesses the world.
These preliminary practices of Tibetan Buddhism are methods which allow us, most efficiently, to purify negativity and accumulate merit. They bring forth our fullest potential, while removing the veils which keep us from experiencing and expressing our Enlightened nature.
A basic introduction to Buddhism, presenting the essential teachings of the Buddha, his life and times, and his great discovery of the Four Noble Truths.
Publisher Marketing: When a Tibetan Buddhist leader dies, he leaves clues as to where he will next incarnate, so that he can be found and trained to take up his duties again. When the sixteenth Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu lineage, died in 1981, the search for his successor soon began. This is the story of the politics and intrigue involved in finding him, not a simple task as it turned out, as told by a Western observer.
"Basic Dharma" is a transcript from a lecture given by Lama Ole at the Dharmadhatu Center in Berkeley, California, in February of 1984, before any Diamond Way Buddhist centers had been established in the Americas. As Lama Ole's first publication of teachings in English, this text was translated into nearly a dozen languages and could be found in Diamond Way Buddhist centers until his introductory book The Way Things Are was released in 1996.
