After years of studying Buddhist teachings and practicing meditation, the 16th Karmapa gave them the task of making the Diamond Way teachings accessible to the western world. In his name more than 500 Diamond Way centers have been founded in the west since 1972, including 32 in the USA. Lama Ole shows us that spontaneous freshness and resting in the nature of ones own mind belong together. He is the author of several books on Buddhism. |
