Meditation Tapes

The following meditations recorded by Lama Ole Nydahl and at studio quality are available:

Example: Diamond Mind Meditation Bullet Guru Yoga Meditation on H.H. the 16th Karmapa
The version of the Three Light Meditation presented here is from the Summer of 1995. Already in the late sixties, the 16th Karmapa, Ranjung Rigpe Dorje, made Hannah and me holders of this practical and comprehensive tool for enlightenment, repeating his wish over later years that we always keep it fresh and on the cutting edge of western mind. For this reason, the focus of the meditation has shifted several times. Here it is on actively continuing the pure view obtained in meditation, into oneÆs daily life.

After having taken Refuge in the morning, one may informally and at any time during the day let the Lama appear in front and receive his blessing. I know of no more effective meditation. Therefore, practice and enjoy.- Lama Ole Nydahl

Bullet Diamond Mind (tib. Dorje Sempa) Meditation
This meditation is a part of the four preparatory practices (Ngöndro) of the Karma Kagyu School. Here, Diamond Mind manifests in a single and peaceful form. The practice especially targets anger, hate and ill-will, transforming them into mirrorlike wisdom.
Many more - also in other languages - are in preparation. For a complete list call one of our centers or the distributors mentioned below. Lama Ole Nydahl made this recording for widespread use. For an introduction and further explanations visit our centers or look for a competent spiritual guidance.
