The Teacher
Gen Losang Kelsang was ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1983 and spent several years in retreat under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and later taught Kadampa Buddhism internationally in many countries such as the UK, Mexico, the US, Spain, Taiwan, Switzerland, and Japan. He has recently guided retreats at the International Spring and Summer Festivals to thousands of people.
As one of Venerable Geshe-la’s most senior students, Gen Losang has a great depth of understanding of the teachings and is very skilful in sharing them in a practical, approachable and light-hearted manner. He is lovingly regarded for his insightful teachings and serves as an inspiration through his devoted practice.
Everyone must arrive by 15 minutes before their first session for a safety briefing. Everyone must wear a face covering or mask in the Meditation Hall (please inform us if you have a medical exemption).
For arrival, you need to park on the basketball court. To access the court, just drive past the cafe courtyard entrance and down the lane passing the barn on your left, then the houses on your right. When you get to the house at the bottom (Pond Cottage) the lane bends to the right and then you will see the court from there. Then walk up to the Meditation Hall (left hand side of building) where you will be met by a centre manager.
