Our Tradition
The New Kadampa Tradition- International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) is an international association of Mahayana Buddhist study and meditation centres founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in 1991 to offer the practical wisdom of Kadampa Buddhism to the people of the modern world.
The NKT-IKBU follows the pure tradition of Mahayana Buddhism handed down in an unbroken lineage from Buddha Shakyamuni through the ancient Kadampa teachers Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa and introduced into the West by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
With over 1300 centres around the world, our Kadampa community is an international family, offering support, inspiration and encouragement for this joyful and profound spiritual path. It is an entirely independent Buddhist tradition that has no political affiliations.
