Medicine Buddha Empowerment and Teachings on
Healing the Mind with Buddhist monk and international Meditation Teacher, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab
Manjushri KMC, UK

At International Festivals we have the opportunity to receive Empowerments and Teachings from the General Spiritual Director, Deputy Spiritual Director and Retired General Spiritual Directors. Senior Kadampa Teachers from various countries guide the meditations and lead the retreat.

This year at the International Spring Festival, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director and Resident Teacher at KMC Canada, will grant the blessing empowerment and teachings on the practice of the ‘Buddha Doctor’ – Medicine Buddha. By relying sincerely upon this practice, we can cure our own principal sickness; the sickness of our inner delusions and thereby be free from sickness forever.

Gen-la Khyenrab is known for his powerful and penetrating teachings, and for his pure example, reflecting his many years of reliance upon his Spiritual Guide, his study and meditation practice, and his ability to unify Kadam Dharma with his busy life.

Kadam Neil Elliott, Resident Teacher at KMC London and Special Teacher Training Programme Teacher, will then guide a day and a half of retreat based on Gen-la Khyenrab’s commentary. Kadam Neil is renowned for his ability to present the deep meaning of the Teachings in a way that is easy to integrate into daily life.

Meditations throughout the Festival will be led by Gen Kelsang Sangden, Resident Teacher at KMC Mexico.
