The Teacher

Kelsang Kyobpa

Kelsang Kyobpa is a Buddhist nun and the Resident Teacher of Compassion Buddhist Centre in Auckland. She understands clearly how Buddhist practice solves our problems and brings about
peace and happiness. With sincerity and insight Kyobpa inspires us to bring the teachings of Buddha into our daily lives.

Meditation is a way of calming the mind, making us more peaceful, balanced and focused in our daily lives. Ultimately, it enables us to awaken our spiritual potential and find lasting joy and contentment.

Buddhism is a path of individual transformation. It teaches us to look within ourselves for the inner peace and happiness we seek. By developing a more positive outlook, and in particular by deepening our wisdom and compassion, we can improve the quality of our life and gain great power to help others.
