This month, some centers have organized inspiring public talks, allowing others to connect with wonderful Dharma teachings. KMC Barcelona, Sukhavati KBC in Querétaro and Mahamudra KBC in Uruguay are featured here.
Two wonderful occasions to celebrate! Two centers hosted their official openings: Ganden Ling KMC in Cornwall, and KMC Nottingham, with its new building at Gedling House along with its 30th anniversary celebration.
Over the weekend, there was a variety of vibrant courses held by Kadampa centres throughout the US. The courses taught wisdom and love giving people peace of mind and energy to live a meaningful life.
At the beginning of September, KMC Guadalajara hosted a special meditation event led by Resident Teacher Gen Shima, drawing a large and enthusiastic audience. The event was divided into two parts: a public talk called “Where is Happiness?” and a retreat called “Release from Pain.”

Meditation is a virtuous mental action that is the main cause for experiencing mental peace in the future. Whenever we practice meditation, whether or not our meditation is clear, we are performing a virtuous mental action that is a cause of our future happiness and peace of mind.
