About the author:

In 1968, after several years of traveling, the young Danes Ole and Hannah Nidal met in Nepal with his Holiness by Gyalvoy Karmapa XVI - the head of the ancient Buddhist tradition of Karma Kagyu, “Tsar Yoginov Tibeta ".

This meeting completely changed the life of Ole and Hannah. They spent several years in the Himalayas, studying at his Holiness and other tall lamps. And in the fall of 1972, Karmapa asked them to return to the West and transfer the teachings of the Buddha to everyone who is interested. Since then, thanks to their activities in the world, more than 700 centers and groups of meditation of the diamond path of the Karma Kague school appeared, about 100 of which opened their doors in Russia.
