How Kadampa meditation has helped me
I started going to Kadampa meditation classes to reduce stress and frustration over 10 years ago After a short while I realised how incredibly beneficial the teachings and meditations from the Kadampa Tradition were I have continued to attend classes festivals and have been teaching these practical and helpful instructions to others for about 8 years I have met hundreds of wonderful people who are committed to making not only their life better but the lives of others too I know my life and my relationships have transformed as a result and I also know that people around me have noticed how calm and grounded I am most of the time If everyone took a little bit of time to train their minds in meditation to increase love and compassion we would be living in a much more peaceful and happy world

Genuine Buddhism in practice
If you want 100 authentic mainstream Buddhism the New Kadampa tradition is the place for you When Buddha taught 2500 years ago there were no Buddhists so who was he teaching Everybody and anybody according to their circumstances and inclinations Modern Kadampas maintain this inclusivity keeping the essential purity of the lineage while welcoming all without any form of discrimination It is a wholly non-sectarian tradition What gives you confidence is that it is thoroughly open transparent and fundamentally honest about its origins and practices If the NKT is not for you and you find happiness elsewhere that is wonderful The NKT would never criticize anybody for finding or following another path Nor reject you even if you rejected them Genuine Buddhism in practice

The New Kadampa Tradition the path of compassion
The New Kadampa Tradition was not the first tradition of Buddhism I tried I had tried other traditions prior to meeting the NKT but none of them felt as compassionate and clear as NKT Buddhism The support I received and still receive is phenomenal The teaching encouraging and explaining step by step how to move from a mind of anger and ignorance to a mind of love compassion and wisdom They offer the complete path to enlightenment I have also been fortunate enough to live in an NKT centre This was such a great experience Everyone is really trying to put Buddhas teachings into practice and show love and support for each other My husband who is not Buddhist also lived in the centre with me and had such a great experience as well He didn t become a Buddhist as a result of living in the centre but he learn from the example of other to be more thoughtful and compassionate I cant thank the NKT enough for helping me to become who I am today

A wonderful tradition that I personally
A wonderful tradition that I personally feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to play a small part in The core essence of the tradition is the development of wisdom and compassion These minds are our real refuge If we apply effort to cultivate these inner qualities they will provide is with real protection from suffering and fear If we have a genuine wish for this to be our experience then practical application of the instructions contained within Venerable Geshe-la s books will take us there To whatever degree we choose to apply the teachings to that degree we will experience the results The choice is ultimately ours We have freedom to choose

Personal experience of kind hearts
I have been attending New Kadampa Tradition Centres Festivals and events for over 20 years I have only received kindness and support over that period from teachers and other community members for which I am deeply grateful And I have never felt pressure to help my Centre or the NKT by volunteering donating etc However I have chosen to do so have enjoyed the experience and have benefitted enormously Everyone is doing their best to develop a good heart with the result that Festivals in particular are joyous events providing actual experience of what life could be like if everyone practiced wisdom and compassion Of course each person and their life experiences are different And as Geshe-la always says we have choice But for myself I will be eternally grateful to my kind friend who first took me to my NKT Centre
