Passing of Ole Nydahl
Ole Nydahl passed away, it was announced today:
Dearest friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I am reaching out to you today. This morning, our beloved teacher, Lama Ole, left his Viking body, which he tirelessly devoted to benefiting others. His passing unfolded in a completely natural and peaceful way — marked, as always, by immense love and strength.
Wherever we are, we are united in gratitude for everything Lama Ole taught us and for all he accomplished for Buddhism in the West and within our Karma Kagyu lineage.
May we cherish his extraordinary example and continue to carry it forward in everything we do.
With love,
Anne Nydahl
P.S. You are all very welcome to come to the Europe Center. After some quiet days of meditation, there will be an opportunity to pay your last respects.
