Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
Modern Buddhism.
We offer meditation classes that combine tried and tested techniques for developing inner peace and solving problems with a practical presentation of Buddha’s teachings, relevant to our modern world and daily experiences.
The meaning and intention of Buddha’s original teachings have been preserved while presenting them in a clear and systematic way that anyone of any nationality, age, gender or religion can easily understand and put into practice.
