THE ORAL INSTRUCTIONS OF MAHAMUDRA AT MADHYAMAKA KMC
Madhyamaka KMC is a special place.
It is the first center Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche founded when he came to the West. It is like the original seed from which the vast harvest of modern Kadampa centers have grown.
Venerable Geshe-la visited the present building a number of times and gave precious teachings and empowerments there, so what a blessed and auspicious place it is to engage in retreat.
This weekend people gathered from all over to join the Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Tharpa in a retreat on the oral instructions of Mahamudra. Here we share some photos of the first day.
Enjoy.
Teachers from around the world visited Kadampa communities in Edinburgh (UK), Paris (France), Concepción (Chile), and Madrid (Spain), sharing practical teachings, guided meditations, and inspiring advice that helped participants deepen their experience of Dharma in daily life.
