Kadampa Buddhism is meant for everyone, as Gen-la Dekyong reminded us this year. She even suggested we check our minds to see if there isn't a thought that it as only for a certain kind of person - say, an alternative type - when Geshe-la's vision is "Everyone Welcome."
You can see how widely appealing it is by watching these lovely recent videos from South Africa on YouTube:
Where Can I Find You?
Buddhist Meditation Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa
There used to be other videos there, but I can't find them; I also tried a Google search and checking Kadampa.org without success. I'd love to hear if you know of others.
You can see more about Kadampa Dharma in South Africa on their websites and Facebook pages:
Cape Town Tushita Center FB and Website
Johannesburg Vajrapani Center Website
Durban Mahasidda Center Website
By the way, if you're interested in this kind of news about Kadampa Buddhism, you can sign up for their occasional emails at Kadampa.org, near the bottom of the page, just above The Learning Zone section, where it has a space for you to enter your email address then click Subscribe.
It's also very inspiring to see the worldwide map of Kadampa Centers. May it be filled with more and more of those pins indicating Temples, KMCs, Centers, Retreat Centers, Schools, and someday maybe even hospices, retirement communities, and whatever else would be beneficial.
In Eight Steps to Happiness Geshe-la says "'Self' and 'other' are relative terms, rather like 'this mountain' and 'that mountain ... 'This' and 'that' therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self, it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself."
