The first Saturday in April is NKT Day, on which we celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in developing all the conditions for modern Kadampa Buddhism to flourish in this world.

For our first post today we introduce KMC Spain, which is the Featured Center for this month. As you can see from the featured center page, this precious center is a perfect illustration of the work of Venerable Geshe-la in cultivating the development modern Kadampa Buddhist centers around the world, from the initial seeds to fully qualified Temples.

Please enjoy this precious video of Venerable Geshe-la opening and blessing KMC Spain in 2006, and then visit the featured center page, for more video, beautiful photos and inspiring news about the sixth Temple for World Peace.

And when you have the time, look back over the previous days, weeks, months of the Kadampa News posts and take in the extraordinary breadth of Venerable Geshe-la's work.

Today is an occasion for great rejoicing in a very special being and a very special project.

Venerable Geshe-la, although the depths of your kindness and breadth of your actions to benefit the beings of this world are in reality beyond our comprehension, we rejoice deeply in your great works and with unwavering faith request you from the depths of our hearts to remain with us for a very long time to help and protect the beings in this world.
