According to an NKT brochure, written by James Belither while secretary of the NKT:

James Belither, the former secretary of the NKT, described the NKT as " a Mahayana Buddhist tradition with historical connections with Tibet ", rather than a Tibetan tradition, and explained that Geshe Kelsang wishes his followers always " to present Dharma in a way appropriate to their own culture and society without the need to adopt Tibetan culture and customs ".

Of the words, " New Kadampa Tradition ", James Belither ( NKT Secretary for 20 years ) states that the " word ' New ' is used not to imply that it is newly created, but that it is a fresh presentation of Buddhadharma in a form and manner that is appropriate to the needs and conditions of the modern world.

Instead of presenting itself as a Tibetan tradition, James Belither has said that the NKT-IKBU is " a Mahayana Buddhist tradition with historical connections with Tibet ", saying it wishes " to present Dharma in a way appropriate to their own culture and society without the need to adopt Tibetan culture and customs.
