FAQs

Do I have to be a Buddhist?

No. Anyone can learn basic meditation and experience the benefits. Buddhism is a non-evangelical religion. Buddhists respect all people and are happy to help anyone regardless of whether they follow another faith or not.

Will I be asked to speak in front of a group?

No. If you would like to ask a question in the online classes, you can send a question via the Chat function in Zoom, or ask a question at the end of the class during the Q&A period

What relevance does Buddhism have to the U.S. now and to my life?

Although Buddhism first appeared in India over 2,500 years ago, it has a timeless and universal relevance. In a nutshell, Buddha explained that all our problems arise from confused and negative states of mind. He taught methods for ridding the mind of these destructive states and thereby realizing true happiness and fulfillment. These methods work for any mind, in any country, at any age.

Who do Buddhists worship and why?

Buddhists regard all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as perfect guides and role models, and as such, naturally develop faith in them and rely upon them as Spiritual Guides. For this reason, Buddhists strive, through meditation, prayer and various ritual practices, to connect with enlightened beings and to receive their transformative blessings.

Is The NKT part of Tibetan Buddhism?

The New Kadampa Tradition is global Buddhism. Just as Tibetans faithfully adopted the practices taught to them by the great Indian masters and adapted those to their own culture, so Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, encourages people from all ethnic backgrounds to adopt the wisdom and compassion of Buddha and to put it into practice in a way that suits their particular culture.
