The Australian Festival came to a mellow but powerful end with two days of retreat. Please enjoy the description and the photos, but most of all enjoy another fantastic excerpt from Gen-la’s extraordinary teaching.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
The fortunate ones attending this amazing Festival sent the following description of the last couple of days of the Festival:

‘Following Gen-la's amazingly clear and profound teachings we were guided in retreat by Gen Dornying, Resident Teacher of KMC Australia and KMC Melbourne.

‘In retreat, the main emphasis was on gaining familiarity with the practice of Manjushri, and in particular clear appearance and divine pride as the wisdom Buddha.

‘On the final day, Gen Dornying guided beautiful meditations on faith in our Guru and confidence in our ability to accomplish the pure vision he has for us.

‘At the end of the Festival, many empowered Kadampas returned to their Australian Centres with an inspired start for 2019.’

NEXT UP: NEW ZEALAND NATIONAL FESTIVAL 2019
Next Gen-la moves to New Zealand, where he gives a Public Talk in Aukland Town Hall on Tuesday January 15, and then grants the empowerment of Buddha Maitreya and gives teachings on love at the New Zealand National Festival in Wellington, January 18-21.
