Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche devoted his entire life to making the pure teachings of Buddha available in a modern form to people throughout the world.

Blessing empowerments of Buddha Vajrapani took place in the last few weeks. Those who attended KMC Metz, KMC Montpellier and Odiyana KMC in Cheshire had a great opportunity to connect with this Deity to strengthen their spiritual power.
National Spiritual Directors traveled to give special courses at KMC Texas, KMC Merida, KMC Lille (France), and Avalokiteshvara KBC in Huelva.
Their teachings offered many wonderful and practical examples of how to practice Dharma in our daily lives.

Meditation on love is very powerful. Even if our concentration is not very strong we accumulate a vast amount of merit. By meditating on love we create the cause to be reborn as a human or a god, to have a beautiful body in the future, and to be loved and respected by many people. Love is the great protector, protecting us from anger and jealousy, and from harm inflicted by spirits.
