A Trip to the Kadampa Center!

I went to lunch with Mom and Dad today. We met at the Buddhist meditation center / temple that Dad is remodeling. It's very nice inside, and I got to see the large statues up close (but through plastic) and meet Kelsang Jampa, the resident teacher.

Kelsang Jampa, a Western Buddhist Monk, is the resident teacher of Kadampa Meditation Center - Texas (KMC-TX).

He has been a close disciple of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for eight years. He trained on the Kadampa study program at Vajralama Buddhist Center in Seattle and has received the lineage blessings and oral transmissions directly from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Kelsang Jampa's warmth, kindness, and deep understanding of Buddhist teachings provide an inspiring example of Buddhism in practice.
