Hannah Nydahl, together with her husband Ole became the closest Western students of H.H. the 16th Karmapa. As well as being an accomplished teacher in her own right, for over 30 years Hannah's activity focussed on interpreting for the Karma Kagyu lamas and translating texts of Buddhist philosophy.
As such she acted as a bridge between the East and West. Hannah's calm and perceptive teaching style, as well as her loving kindness, compassion and wisdom touched everyone who knew her.
Sadly, she passed away on April 1st 2007, but her great example continues to inspire Diamond Way students.
