On August 7th, Lama Ole joined us at the International Summer Course to give 2 days of precious Mahamudra teachings.

Last night Lama Ole was presented with his new book, fresh from the printer: “Die Vier Grundübungen im Diamantweg”.

So much time with our teacher! And so much time with all the friends presenting their projects and centers from all over the world!

Two days, two lectures, two very precious Mahamudra texts which Lama Ole explained to us. We are so lucky!

Every year during the Summer Course and at other occasions, Lama Ole meets up with the students teaching on his behalf to spread important information, to answer questions and to give his much sought-after advice.

As the opener for this year’s Summer Course and actually for the only time for the rest of this year, Lama Ole Nydahl gave a public lecture.

A wonderful time with Lama Ole was this year’s Transmission Weekend, which again attracted Buddhists from all over the world to listen to Buddha`s highest teachings given by Lama Ole.

In the morning, it was time to say goodbye to Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche, with lots of thankfulness and joy from all of us here at the EC.

Lectures, lectures, lectures… and quite a storm! Lama Ole answered boxes of questions in the afternoon while everybody tried to find their own way of dealing with 40+ degrees in the gompa tent.

Lama Ole definitely gave us more than anyone could have expected: Mahamudra teachings by the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje, the Ganges Mahamudra by the great Mahasiddha Tilopa…
