The passing into Parinirvana of the venerable Lama Ole Nydahl, who received the wisdom of the Buddha from South Asia and nurtured it across Western countries by establishing vast Dharma centers, has brought deep sorrow not only to the Kagyu tradition but also to all who have faith in the teachings of the Buddha.
Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to spreading the path of compassion, wisdom, and meditation, inspiring countless beings toward the Dharma. By planting the seeds of Buddha’s teachings in Western lands, he brought peace, awareness, and positive transformation to many people's lives.
With deepest respect and gratitude, I honor his immense contributions and noble activities. May the guidance, compassion, and inspiration he shared continue to illuminate the path for future generations.
May his great merit and enlightened activities remain forever in the hearts of beings. 🙏
