The Tradition
The New Kadampa Tradition
A spiritual guide for modern times
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is a fully accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism.
Ordained a Buddhist monk at the age of eight, he studied in the great monastic universities of Tibet and earned the title 'Geshe', which literally means 'spiritual friend'. After leaving Tibet he spent 18 years engaged in meditation retreats in the Himalayan areas of northern India and Nepal.
In 1977 he accepted an invitation to teach in England at Manjushri Centre, and since then he has worked tirelessly to provide all the conditions Westerners need to enter, make progress on and complete the Buddhist path to peace and happiness.
He has written nineteen books that explain clearly and practically every aspect of Buddha's teachings. He has established three study Programmes for the systematic study and practice of Buddhism, established 800 Kadampa Buddhist centres and groups worldwide, trained qualified Buddhist teachers, and created a project to build Buddhist temples throughout the world dedicated to world peace and happiness.
Cultivating wisdom and a good heart
In his teachings Geshe Kelsang emphasises the importance of applying Buddha's advice in daily life: looking for true happiness within ourselves and not in the external world, and cultivating wisdom and a good heart, so that we may effectively help others - qualities that he perfectly shows in his own life. Because he teaches from example, he inspires many people from around the world.
