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.

Meditation Demystified-A Retreat in the City: Sometimes we see meditation as an obligation or "should," when it might be seen as a joyful opportunity. Come and practice with an experienced teacher in an informal setting with plenty of time for questions and answers. Experience the benefits of meditation, how to sit, breathe, and what to do with distractions. Experiment with methods that calm and center the mind, increase compassion and wisdom, and help with disturbing thoughts and feelings. Avoid the common pitfalls that discourage meditation practice. Learn how to develop and sustain an enduring meditation practice that fits your life.
