This short booklet is a basic introduction to Buddhism for "the intelligent and idealistic West." Here Ole introduces the essential teachings of the Buddha, his life and times, and his great discovery of Four Noble Truths. From this groundwork comes the Great Way, the unity and integration of compassion anad wisdom in daily life, and the Diamond Way, which recognizes the timeless and radiant nature of mind.

Teachings on the Nature of Mind

Nydahl, Lama Ole

The Great Seal Limitless Space &amp; Joy The Mahamudra View of Diamond Way Buddhism Lama Ole Nydahl’s refreshing and modern commentary to this classic Buddhist text about the nature of mind makes these teachings accessible to many people. THE GREAT SEAL describes our basis for development, the path, and the goal of Diamond Way Buddhism and offers insight into both the conditioned world and absolute reality. THE GREAT SEAL, or Mahamudra view, is compared to painting on water. Everything fits perfectly in the moment, yet while it appears it is also dissolving. Enlightened actions work in the same way: here and now, beyond expectations or fears, without holding on or pushing away.

In 1969, Ole and Hannah Nydahl became the first Western students of H.H. the 16th Karmapa, the head of the Kagyu tradition of yogis in Tibetan Buddhism. After their years of practice in the Himalayas, Karmapa requested them to teach and start centers in his name.They have continued this work ever since. For nearly forty years, until her death in 2007, Hannah translated and organized for the main lamas of the lineage, and Ole, himself a lama, has now started over seven hundred growing centers around the world.The Nydahl's work in the West starts in 1972 with an audience with the Queen of Denmark. A basement in historical Copenhagen becomes the first Tibetan Buddhist center on the European continent, and rusted-through VW buses with racecar qualities get them everywhere. Karmapa's visit to Denmark in 1974 then opens up the world...Riding the Tiger is the inside story of the establishment of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. In his refreshingly unsentimental style, Lama Ole shares all aspects of the work. With breathtaking intensity, he highlights both healthy and unhealthy tendencies from the viewpoint of the Buddha's ultimate aim: to bring forth the fully developed capacity of all beings in such a way that their every activity blesses the world.
