The first time Venerable Geshe-la’s precious teachings of Kadam Dharma were given in Norway was when a small group of practitioners requested Gen Kelsang Sangye to visit in 2008. Gen Sangye held a weekend of teachings in Norway’s two largest cities, Oslo and Bergen.
This inspired the local Sangha to hold a number of classes in both these cities. Then, in summer 2009 the Sangha in Oslo requested a full time Teacher. Gen Kelsang Tubchen was appointed Resident Teacher in Oslo on November 10, 2009 and thus Je Tsongkhapa Kadampa Buddhist Centre was born.
The official opening of the City temple in Oslo took place in October 2017 with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong. Since then the center has flourished in the local area.
