Friends of the World
With the Spanish National Festival postponed until September, KMC Spain organised a special national online event called “Friends of the world”.
Taught by six Resident Teachers from Spanish centers, the course focused on how to become a true Bodhisattva by practicing the six perfections in modern life.
The National Spiritual Director of Spain, Gen Kelsang Chokga, started the weekend with an inspiring introduction and finished with teachings on wisdom.
Gen Chokga explained that only by realising emptiness will we be able to stop suffering and become an enlightened being, the best friend of the world.
MODERN BODHISATTVAS
Over 450 people from all over Spain gathered online April 8 - 12 to attend these inspiring teachings.

"Thank you dear precious teachers."
"How wonderful! What truly great masters we have, we are incredibly fortunate!"
"I cannot find the words to express how much I have enjoyed the course, you are real Bodhisattvas that, like emanations, help us to ‘survive’ in these difficult times."
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful and precious course. It is great to have teachers who share their experiences from the heart. "
"I feel grateful, satisfied and full of blessings. What else could I ask for? I just want to say thank you from my heart."
"I am very happy to have received, at home! The teachings of this precious national event, have been like a festival to me. As I am the only Kadampa practitioner at home, so I do it by myself, but my partner, who lives with me, understands how important this is to me, thank you!"
