Gen Kelsang Atisha
Our Resident Teacher
Gen Atisha was ordained as a Buddhist monk by Venerable Geshe
Kelsang Gyatso, and has studied under the foremost Kadampa Buddhist
Masters of our time.
The name 'Atisha', given to him by his Spiritual Guide, means
'peace' and was also the name of the 11th century founder of
Kadampa Buddhism.
Having studied and meditated on Buddha's teachings extensively
for a number of years, Gen Atisha has become a qualified meditation
teacher, skilled in conveying the ancient teachings of Buddha
in the context of contemporary American society.
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has recently appointed Gen Atisha
as the new Resident Teacher of Vajrarupini
Center in San Diego. |
