Gompa

Lama Tsongkhapa is extremely important to Kadampa Center - his writings are the framework for our study and practice, and he founded our Gelugpa lineage in Tibetan Buddhism. 

Lama Tsongkhapa was a renowned scholar, practitioner, meditator, teacher and author.  His studies and meditations in all the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism resulted in the founding of the Gelugpa lineage.

Among his major accomplishments was writing the Lamrim, or the Great Treatise on the Path to Enlightenment, a step-by-step guide to the spiritual practices that lead to enlightenment. He also wrote several condensed versions of the Lamrim, including Foundation of All Good Qualities, the Three Principal Aspects of the Path, and Song of Experience. 

We will hold a memorial prayer service for Ryan Draper, a long time member of Kadampa Center, at noon on Sunday, December 18. 

Ryan passed away on December 5. 

Join us for prayers and mantras. There will be an opportunity to say a few words in remembrance. 

In person and online via Zoom and YouTube.  Register here for Zoom.
