MODERN KADAMPA BUDDHISM MASTER CLASS
This weekend Gen-la Dekyong, the Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, gave a master class in teaching modern Kadampa Buddhism.
The occasion was a public talk in the World Peace Temple to which the people of the local area were invited.
At the beginning, Gen-la guided a simple meditation that anyone could take home and do.
She then gave a powerful explanation of what meditation is and the many benefits of finding ten to fifteen minutes a day to do some - and especially what a great kindness it is to others for us to practice meditation.
It was a powerful and inspiring morning in the Temple, and afterwards people were able to relax in Manjushri’s grounds and cafe, or on the beach - and some even managed to take in a guided tour of the Kadampa Art Studio.
We look forward to many more such days.
Please enjoy the video and photos.
Behind the scenes, every corner of the Mother Centre is alive with joyful activity as everyone prepares to welcome visitors with warmth and care. All areas are working at full capacity, filled with a spirit of dedication and cheerful effort.
