Venerable AtishaKadampa Buddhism
is a Mahayana Buddhist tradition founded by the great Indian Buddhist master Atisha (AD 982-1054). The Kadampa tradition was later promoted by the renowned Tibetan scholar Je Tsongkhapa and his followers, who became known as the 'New Kadampas'. To this day New Kadampas around the world study Je Tsongkhapa's teachings and strive to emulate his pure example.
