Gen Kelsang Lekma has returned to England

After 12 years of selfless service, our kind Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Lekma will be returning to England to become the Resident Teacher of Ashoka Center in Plymouth. Admired for her ability to present Buddha's teachings with great clarity, she has helped many students in California to understand the many benefits of applying Buddha's teachings to their daily lives. Gen Lekma will be deeply missed. We look forward to seeing her at the Kadampa Buddhist Festivals in England and throughout the world.
