Buddhism in the Modern World

»When the fire ox drives on wheel and the iron birds flies everywhere, my teaching will come to the white man´s land«

This 8th century Buddhist prediction is coming true. Since 1968 the Danish lamas, Hannah and Ole Nydahl, have made it their life´s work to spread Buddhism. Today there are nearly 600 Buddhist centres worldwide.
This DVD tells the story about a king´s son who became Buddha, and about the 17th Karmapa, the spiritual leader of the Karma Kadjy school within the Buddhist Diamond Way. It explores what life is like as a Buddhist in a busy, modern, western world and talks about the growing interest in Buddhism generally today.
