Why do some people say that the New Kadampa Tradition has made people homeless?

This is quite a common criticism by the New Kadampa Tradition “Survivors” and needs to be thought about carefully. There are instances where people feel they have been unfairly dismissed or asked to leave a residential Center without recourse. There is obviously no policy in the NKT of making people homeless or firing people with no cause; and each of these stories therefore needs to be looked at very carefully on a case by case basis, with all points of view being taken into account.

NKT Center administrators have on occasion asked people to leave a residential Center because of, for example, inappropriate behavior, breaking the Center rules, or failing to pay their rent. If people feel they have been unfairly dismissed or been asked to leave a residential Center without any reason, and feel their case is unresolved, they can contact the Secretary of the General Spiritual Director in the NKT Office and it will be looked at.
