For centuries people have found in Kadampa Buddhism simple methods to solve their daily problems and experience a deep and lasting happiness.
These powerful methods are available to us today in the form of Modern Kadampa Buddhism, which is a special presentation designed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, with an emphasis on compassion, wisdom and integrating Buddhists teachings into modern daily life.
The teaching program at Heart Jewel Centre is based on this profound and easy to practice presentation.
