Looking into the mirror of Dharma at the mother center

What better way to take the special teachings of the 2019 Fall Festival deeper into your heart than to spend some time at the mother center in profound guided meditation retreat in January 2020? January is a special time at Manjushri KMC when the whole centre enters into retreat mode for four weeks of winter retreat and an extraordinary calm falls upon the environment.

Prostrating to the new moon

The same is true of the development of the International Temples Project (ITP). Although much has been accomplished in recent years with the completion of five major Temples for World Peace and scores of smaller urban Temples, within the context of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s vast, compassionate vision this is just the beginning – the new moon.
