Fall Festival 2024 ~ Day 8
Nov 2, 2024
At the recent Fall Festival, through the kindness of Gen-la Dekyong and Gen-la Khyenrab, we caught a glimpse of the vast and profound Mirror of Dharma that is the holy mind of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
And now we are witnessing beautiful reflections from this mirror appearing all round the world.
This last weekend, for example, in the magnificent Kadampa Temple for World Peace in Cabreúva, Brasil, over a hundred fortunate participants received the empowerment of Wisdom Buddha Manjushri from Gen Togden, the Resident Teacher. After the empowerment, Gen Togden introduced the profound instructions on non-dual appearance and emptiness taught at the Fall Festival.
Meanwhile, over 9,500km away on the other side of the world, another group of Kadampas was enjoying a profound retreat on the oral instructions given at the Fall Festival in the idyllic setting of Kailash International Retreat Centre. Gen Devi, the Resident Teacher, guided powerful meditations following the special instructions from Venerable Geshe-la taught at the Festival.
As we will see in coming weeks, these magical reflections are appearing in hundreds of locations around the world as more and more people discover the power of Kadam Dharma to transform their lives and lead them on a blissful journey to find the real meaning of human life.
