NEW KADAMPA TRADITION - INFORMATION
FyreShaman
Veteran
Hi. here are a few links to NKT and associated websites which may help those interested to find out more about the tradition:
Here is a link to the International Festivals site:
http://kadampafestivals.org/en/
THE NKT HOMEPAGE:
http://kadampa.org/
THE MAIN SOURCE OF NKT BOOKS AND SADHANAS:
http://www.tharpa.com/
Many are available as CD's and mp3 downloads. My favourite CD set is the basic Lam Rim as explained in the New Meditation Handbook. It's the ideal format (and I can create mp3 files from the CD as required.)
New and used books may also be purchased from Amazon, but of course the NKT will only receive money from new book sales, not secondhand ones.
HERE IS A LINK TO PHOTO-NEWS FROM NKT CENTRES AROUND THE WORLD.

HERE IS THE NKT 'LEARNING ZONE' WHICH EXPLAINS THE KADAMPA TEACHINGS - SUTRA AND TANTRA:

Here are some positive web forums:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KadampaBuddhism/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NewKadampaSupporters/
You may need to set up a Yahoo email account to join in.
MSN does not currently seem to have any groups for Kadampa Buddhists.
FOR AN EXCELLENT GENERAL BUDDHIST SITE:

FOR THE BEST SITE ON THE NET ABOUT TIBETAN ORIGINS AND VAJRAYANA RITUAL:
http://www.berzinarchives.com/web/en/index.html
FOR STATUES ETC:
www.himalayanmart.com
Note: NKT shops sell statues which are either filled or empty. They can be filled at your local centre, or you can buy a CD and booklet and do it yourself. I recommend himalayanmart for great value and quality (P&P is obviously a significant element in the cost). I wouldn't buy a filled statue from a non-NKT source as you have no idea what it contains, such as prayers you would not choose etc.
