*Kadampa is a Tibetan term for a practitioner of the Buddhist
tradition that originated in the 11th century with the teachings of
Lord Atisha, one of the Indian adepts who brought Buddhism to Tibet. Ka
means the teachings of the Buddha and Dam means personal instruction,
thus, Kadampa refers to practitioners who take the Buddha's teachings
as personal instruction.
This tradition stresses the importance of following a sequential course
of study and meditation to develop the realizations necessary to remove
all of one's problems and mental disturbances, in order to help others
do the same for themselves. Key among these realizations are
generosity, ethical living, patience, joyfulness, mindfulness and
wisdom.
