ABOUT THE NEW KADAMPA TRADITION

The New Kadampa Tradition is a Mahayana Buddhist school based on the teachings of Atisha. Kadampa Buddhism was first introduced into the West by the renowned Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in 1976. Since that time, he has worked tirelessly to help bring Buddha's teachings to our culture, providing the complete path of teachings in an accessible and practical style that helps westerners integrate them into daily life.
