Buddhism

Kadampa Buddhism is a Mahayana Buddhist school founded by the Indian
Buddhist Master Atisha (982 - 1054). His followers are known as
Kadampas: ka means word and refers to Buddha's teachings; dam
refers to Atisha's special Lamrim instructions known as the stages of the path to
enlightenment. Kadampas, then, are practitioners who regard Buddha's teachings as
personal instructions and put them into practice by following the instructions of
Lamrim.

The Kadampa tradition was later promoted widely in Tibet by Je Tsongkhapa and
his followers, who were known as Gelugpas or "New Kadampas".

The great Kadampa teachers are famous not only for being great scholars but also
for being spiritual practitioners of great purity and sincerity. The lineage of
these teachings, both their oral transmission and blessings, was then passed from
teacher to disciple, spreading throughout much of Asia.
