• Buddhism in the Modern World:
“When the fire ox drives on wheel and the iron bird flies everywhere, my teaching will come to the white man’s land”
This 8th century Buddhist prediction is coming true, Lama Ole Nydahl talks about what it is like to be a Buddhist in a busy, modern western world and about the growing interest in Buddhism generally today.

• Transparent Lama:
A biography of one of the great Lamas of Tibetan Buddhism –Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche. His first western students Ole and Hannah Nydahl share the memories about their spiritual teacher, including the time he became invisible before their eyes. Includes footage from Bhutan, the country where he was born, Nepal, his monastery base, and the West, to which he traveled frequently.
