Yesterday evening, Buddha’s Enlightenment Day, saw the special weekend of purification retreats and celebrations come to a close, with many centers engaging in a special puja of thanksgiving and dedication.

Here we show some photos of the Offering to the Spiritual Guide puja at Manjushri KMC the mother center, and a more images of the nyungnay retreats at Mexico City, Paris, Oslo and Metz.

It has been such a privilege to spend this time reflecting on the great kindness of Buddha in demonstrating all the stages of the path to enlightenment in our world, and striving to become just like him by purifying our minds and improving our mind of compassion.

Thank you Venerable Geshe-la for bringing Buddha into our lives and providing everything we need to engage in this precious practice.
