The New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) is opening an international meditation retreat center in Williams, Arizona, for the public to study and participate in meditation programs in modern Kadampa Buddhism. A series of public talks based on Geshe Kelsang’s new book How to Transform Your Life will be offered from September 4 through 12 in Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott, Phoenix and Tucson, followed by weekly classes.
The spiritual program is led by resident teacher Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, an ordained Buddhist monk and the deputy spiritual director of the NKT, a global organization founded by the internationally renowned Buddhist master and author, the Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who pioneered the introduction of modern Buddhism into contemporary society.
