New Kadampa Tradition
A Global Family
Avalokiteshvara Buddhist Center is a member of the New Kadampa Tradition - International Kadampa Buddhist Union, an association of Buddhist Centers and practitioners that derive their inspiration and guidance from the example of the ancient Kadampa Buddhist Masters and their teachings, as presented by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The Kadampa Buddhism of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) is an entirely independent Buddhist tradition and has no political affiliations.
Each center offers study programs, meditation instruction, and retreats for all levels of practitioner. The emphasis is on integrating Buddha's teachings into daily life to solve our problems and to spread lasting peace and happiness throughout the world.
International Buddhist Festivals
Every year Kadampa centers around the world organize major international festivals in different countries.
These Buddhist festivals provide the opportunity for people from all over the world to receive teachings and empowerments from Venerable Geshe Kelsang and senior Kadampa teachers, and to enjoy a spiritual vacation.
People with all levels of experience attend the festivals, from absolute beginners to those who have practiced for many years.
They are a wonderful way to meet with fellow practitioners and to gain a clear understanding and deeper experience of the Buddhist path to happiness.
