Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso


Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is a fully accomplished meditation master and internationally renowned teacher of Buddhism. He is the author of a series of highly acclaimed books on Buddhism and the founder of nearly 900 Kadampa Meditation Centres and Groups throughout the world.


Practical Buddhism

Geshe Kelsang presents Buddha's teachings clearly and practically, empowering us to take them to heart and use them to improve the quality of our daily life. He is a perfectly qualified spiritual Teacher who can show us directly from his own experience how to begin, make progress on, and complete the spiritual path.

Kadampa Buddhism was first introduced into the West in 1977 by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Since that time he has worked tirelessly to spread Kadampa Buddhism throughout the world by giving extensive teachings, writing many profound texts on Kadampa Buddhism, and founding the New Kadampa Tradition, the International Kadampa Buddhist Union.
