Riding the Tiger
After their years of studying and practice in the Himalayas, Hannah and Ole Nydahl were authorized to teach and start centers in the name of Karmapa. Work in the West starts with an audience with the Queen of Denmark. A basement in historical Copenhagen became the first Tibetan Buddhist center. The Karmapa's visit in 1974 then opens up the world... "Riding the Tiger" is the inside story of the development of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.
