About
Manjushri Kadampa Centre is a member of the NKT-IKBU, a Mahayana Buddhist
tradition founded in the west by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. We are an entirely
independent Buddhist tradition and has no political affiliations. It is an association
of Buddhist Centres and practitioners that derive their inspiration and guidance
from the ancient Kadampa Buddhist Masters and their teachings, as presented by
Geshe Kelsang.
Our Centre offers study programmes on Buddhist psychology, philosophy, and
meditation instruction, as well as retreats for all levels of practitioner. The
emphasis is on integrating Buddha's teachings into daily life to solve our human problems and to spread lasting peace and happiness throughout the world.
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is the inspiration behind the revival of Kadampa Buddhism in our time.
Geshe-la, as he is affectionately called by his students, is a fully accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism.
From the age of eight Geshe-la studied extensively in the great monastic universities of Tibet and earned the title ‘Geshe’, which literally means 'spiritual friend’. Under the guidance of Trijang Rinpoche, his Spiritual Guide he then spent the next eighteen years in meditation retreats in the Himalayas.
In 1977 he was invited to teach in England. Since arriving in the West, Geshe-la has given immaculate teachings on Kadampa Buddhism in Europe and North America, and published a series of remarkable books on Buddhist thought and meditation.
He has established three unique study programs and over 1,100 Kadampa centres and groups worldwide, trained qualified western teachers and a flourishing ordained community, and created a project to build Buddhist temples in every major city in the world.
In his teachings Geshe Kelsang emphasizes the importance of meditation and how to apply it in daily life, the need to be truly happy, and how to cultivate a good heart to help others and he demonstrates these qualities perfectly in his own life.
This remarkable teacher inspires so many people from so many different countries because he teaches from example.
He is a humble Buddhist monk dedicated to helping people throughout the world find true happiness in their hearts.
