Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche tells the story that when he was invited to become Resident Teacher at Manjushri Centre in the UK in 1977 he remembers flying over London and thinking, ‘There are more people in this single city than there are in the whole of Tibet!’ From that moment Venerable Geshe-la held in his mind the intention to bring holy Kadam Dharma to the people of London.
