3 3 about us about us 4 Modern Buddhism The New Kadampa Tradition - International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT - IKBU) is a global spiritual family dedicated to world peace, with more than 1,300 Centres and groups throughout the world. Kadampa Buddhism is a living tradition practised by people in all walks of life, bringing practical wisdom and inspiring solutions into our busy lives. It is perfectly suited to our modern world, because it emphasizes how to integrate positive attitudes into our daily activities, showing that we can all be spiritual people without needing to change our external conditions. Modern Kadampa Buddhism can be practised by everyone, Buddhist or not. All the teachings, from the simplest to the most profound, are ways to improve our experience of inner peace, the foundation for our happiness. Once we have peace in our own hearts, we will be in a position to help others find the same. For more information please visit The Founder of Our Tradition Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso is the founder of the New Kadampa Tradition. Born and trained in Tibet, he engaged in meditation retreat in India for many years and is now regarded as a modern day Buddhist master. In 1977, following the advice of his own Spiritual Guide, Kyabje Trijang Dorjechang, Geshe Kelsang accepted a request to come to the UK to teach. Geshe Kelsang has written 24 highly acclaimed books on Buddhism and meditation which present Buddha s teachings in a way that everyone, regardless of nationality, age or gender, can put into practice in their daily lives. He shows how we can solve the problems we face in modern life through the simple, practical methods taught by Buddha, and begin to experience lasting happiness and inner peace. In his teachings, Geshe Kelsang emphasises 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.
