Spring Festival 2026 Day 6
May 27, 2026
Last night in a packed Temple for World Peace at Manjushri KMC, Gen-la Dekyong, General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, shared some priceless advice she received directly from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
She began by explaining what it means to be a Kadampa:
'A Kadampa is someone who integrates all of Buddha's teachings of Sutra and Tantra into their Lamrim practice and then unifies their daily life with Lamrim practice. We strive to accomplish the union of daily life and Lamrim.'
Then she shared Venerable Geshe-la's personal advice . . .
The temple is full of dedicated practitioners from around the world meditating in two final sessions on deepening our mind of compassion until it transforms into the compassion of a Buddha. In this way we awaken our Buddha nature - wishing to attain Enlightenment for all living beings.
