Is the New Kadampa Tradition part of Tibetan Buddhism?
No, the New Kadampa Tradition is a global Buddhism. Just as the Tibetans faithfully adapted the practices taught to them by the great Indian masters and adapted it to their own culture, so Geshe Kelsang encourages people from all ethnic backgrounds to adapt the wisdom and compassion teachings of Buddha and put them into practice in a way that suits their particular culture.
