<\/iframe> Play Video<\/p>\r\n<h2>A Life of supreme dedication<\/h2>\r\n<p>After engaging in the traditional trainings of a monk from a young age in Tibet, Venerable Geshe-la withdrew to remote areas in Tibet and India to engage in meditative retreats.<\/p>\r\n<p>During these retreats he received many signs and visions in which Je Tsongkhapa appeared to him and clarified all the essential teachings of Sutra and Tantra, and especially the Ganden Oral Lineage.<\/p>\r\n<p>It was during these retreats that Venerable Geshe-la formed an especially close connection with the people of this world and made a lifelong dedication to helping us find lasting peace and happiness through the teachings of Buddha.<\/p>\r\n<p>Then in 1977 Venerable Geshe-la accepted an invitation to become the Resident Teacher at the fledgling Manjushri Centre in the UK.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"0000-00_MKMC_Geshela_Anon_returns-to-Manj\" src=\"https:\/\/kadampa.org\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1810,height=1801,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/0000-00_MKMC_Geshela_Anon_returns-to-Manj.jpg\" alt=\"Appearing in the west\" width=\"1810\" height=\"1801\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3>Appearing in the west<\/h3>\r\n<p>On August 27, 1977 Venerable Geshe-la arrived in the west at the invitation of Manjushri KMC.

Both lineages are the very essence of Buddha’s teachings and are most suitable for people of this modern age.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>In recent times, Venerable Geshe-la brought these two precious lineages into the modern world and founded the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU).<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Thus modern Kadampa Buddhism was born.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>This precious tradition embraces all the essential teachings of Sutra and Tantra taught by Buddha himself as preserved and passed to the present day by great masters such as Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa.<\/p>\r\n<p>While faithfully preserving the meaning of these ancient teachings, with the permission of his own Spiritual Guide Trijang Rinpoche, Venerable Geshe-la prepared a new presentation making them easier to understand and apply in the modern world.<\/p>\r\n<p>Now for the first time, pure Kadam Dharma is available equally to everyone throughout the world regardless of nationality, culture, gender or age.<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"
