Linda Saah

Linda Saah found Buddhism and the Kadampa Center around the turn of the century and became an avid student in 2006 when she embarked on the Discovering Buddhism course offered at the Center.  Linda is ever grateful to Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Khensur Rinpoche, Geshe Gelek, Geshe Sangpo, the Kadampa Center, its Sangha members and community, and to all the many teachers who continue to enable her spiritual growth and development.  Linda has been contributing to the spiritual and community life of Kadampa Center for over a decade. She co-coordinated the Family Program for many years, managed the Discovering Buddhism program for several years, served on the visiting teachers team, joined Donna Seese as co-Spiritual Program Coordinator in 2022, and now serves as Kadampa Center's Spiritual Program Coordinator with the help and guidance of many, many others.
