Cherishing all living beings
All Kadampa centers are dedicated to all living beings. They belong to them, remaining in their service for all time, and can never be taken over by individuals or organisations and used for other purposes. For this reason, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says that these centers are very precious and that whenever we engage in an action to benefit a center we are in fact benefitting all living beings.
Dharma is not just for grown-ups
Meditation is important for people of all ages. Here we feature some images of recent activity for children at Kadampa centers around the world.
