Lama Ole Nydahl is one of the few Westerners fully qualified as a lama and meditation teacher in the Karma Kagyu Buddhist tradition. In 1969, Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah became the first Western students of H.H. the 16th Karmapa. After several years of study and intensive meditation training with the highest Kagyu lamas he began teaching Buddhism at the request of the 16th Karmapa. For nearly 40 years Lama Ole has transmitted the blessing of the Kagyu lineage, constantly travelling and teaching worldwide. His depth of knowledge and dynamic teachings inspire thousands of people. In this lecture Lama Ole will explain the relevance of Buddhism's ancient wisdom for people in modern-day Western culture, and how it can lead to a fulfilled, permanently joyful life. After the lecture there will be Q&A, a guided meditation and the chance to receive Buddhist Refuge.

Farewell to Justice? The progressive loss of Civil Liberties in the UK
15 Apr 13

Since 2001, the civil liberties of British citizens have been progressively eroded. Among other examples, the Extradition Act (2003) allows individuals to be extradited to another country for actions that are not criminal in the UK, and without prima facie evidence of a case against them being presented in a British court. This Act can result in long periods of detention without charge (British citizens have been detained for up to eight years).
