Day 3 ~ Appreciating Our Precious Human Life
Jul 27, 2026
Last weekend saw people all over Europe enjoying the Swiss, Italian, Austrian Dharma Festival 2020, with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang, retired Deputy Spiritual Director of NKT, giving empowerment and teachings from KMC Edinburgh, where she is the Resident Teacher. The meditations and retreat were guided from Kailash IRC in Switzerland.
"This year people were able to join the by live-stream or in-person. We received a magical blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni from Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang. We also received sublime teachings and commentary on the beautiful Liberating Prayer, deepening our appreciation of the power and meaning of the prayer. Everyone felt the powerful blessings even though Gen-la was located in KMC Edinburgh!
"Gen Palden skilfully guided the morning meditations and the event ended with an inspiring short retreat with Gen Devi.
"Thank you to the Festival Teachers, translators and everyone for joining the event and especially a heartfelt thanks to Gen-la Kunsang and the team at KMC Edinburgh."
The day begins with a morning meditation on the first Lamrim meditation that we learned about yesterday, the preciousness of our human life. Using the Festival teachings and Venerable Geshe-la's words to help us to contemplate the purpose of the meditation which is to encourage us to take the real meaning of our human lives
