Long Life Wishes for Lama Ole Nydahl

Composed by Lopön Tsechu Rinpoche (1918-2003)

From the Nordic Land of Viking strength
You have awakened your connection
To the fearless Karma Kamtsang
Bringing the gem of Dharma to those in the West
Awesome Lama Ole, may your activity remain firm

Recognized by His Holiness the 16th Karmapa
As a protector and teacher worth respect
Your tireless activity spreads through this world like fresh breeze
Great protector and friend to all, Lama Ole
May your power and love remain

Trustworthy and honest, You teach
“The Way Things Are” without flinching
In such a Dark Age, a teacher like you is so rare
For the sake of all, we appeal to all Buddhas
To grant you a very long life.
