Who is Buddha Vajrasattva?
Buddha Vajrasattva is a manifestation of the purified consciousness of all the Buddhas, appearing in a special form in order to help us purify our negativity. The practice of meditation and mantra recitation of Vajrasattva is a very powerful method for purifying our body, speech, and mind.
Gen Kelsang Menla has studied under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 20 years and was requested by him to become the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Center Texas in June 2017.
