KMC deuachen
At KMC Deuachen we completed a concentration retreat this weekend under the guidance of Resident Teacher Gen Rigden, who gave teachings on the Kadampa Way of Life and integrating meditation into daily life.
Gen Rigden advised us to make the whole world a temple because the borders between spiritual life and normal life are mental and so not exist truly and can be dissolved.
Let this challenge begin and let everything be auspicious! We appreciate everyone's presence - thank you.
kmc florida
Our 'A Life Less Distracted' weekend retreat at KMC Florida with visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Khedrub, Resident Teacher KMC Washington in Seattle WA, has been clear and profound! Spending this time learning, and developing, our concentration by means of tranquil abiding meditation is an incredibly important way to tap into the stillness and inner peace of our mind.
Both new and experienced meditators engaged this weekend retreat. We hope it has a wonderful impact on everyone's mind.
