Kadampa Buddhism originated in the teachings of Buddha, over 2,500 years ago. It is a Mahayana Buddhist school founded by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha (982-1054 AD).

The Kadampa tradition was later promoted by Je Tsongkhapa and his followers, who were known as the New Kadampas.

More recently it has been propagated throughout the west, and many other countries around the world by the contemporary Kadampa Buddhist Master, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Wheel of Dharma
Buddha's teachings, which are known as Dharma, are likened to a wheel that moves from country to country in accordance with changing conditions and people's karmic inclinations.

The external forms of presenting Buddhism may change as it meets with different cultures and societies, but its essential authenticity is ensured through the continuation of an unbroken lineage of realized practitioners.
