I am a Buddhist and follow the NKT as taught by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.He came to the West in the 70s teaching at Conishead Priory just outside Ulverston in the English Lake District.

Festival are held there in May and August with practitioners coming from all over the world to hear his teachings.

A third festival is held somewhere in the world every October.In 2008 it was Paris Disneyland of all places though we were in a big tent erected on a car park.Over 3000 people came to hear Geshe Kelsang’s teachings.
