KMC Southampton

Meet our Teachers

We have a wonderful team of experienced teachers who teach branch classes, day courses, workshops and meditation classes at the city centre.

We are a Meditation Centre for Modern Buddhism that offers a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings for the modern world showing how Buddha’s advice on wisdom and compassion can benefit anyone in modern society regardless of age, race, gender or faith. Its introduction into modern society has been pioneered by the contemporary Meditation Master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

Teachings are given by qualified Kadampa meditation teachers, all of whom study on the Kadampa Teacher Training Programme.

Gen Kelsang Lekma, a close disciple of the Founder of our tradition Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, is our Resident Teacher. She is a senior Buddhist nun with more than 25 years of teaching and meditation experience and she has taught in England and the United States for much of this time.

She is a very popular and experienced teacher and her clear and entertaining talks express the path of wisdom and meditation in a way that is ideally suited for people of the modern world. She is greatly cherished by her students for her warm, light and wise example.

Gen Lekma teaches meditation weekly classes, study programmes, day courses and guides retreats in Southampton and surrounding area. She is sometimes invited to guide retreats at other Meditation Centres in UK and abroad.
