As we will see, this is a busy weekend with Festivals, Celebrations and other auspicious events happening throughout the world including Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Mexico, Austria, and the Nordic region, and we will be providing reports on each of these over the next few days.

We begin with this early report from the Nordic region:

"This weekend we have our online Nordic Dharma Celebration with Gen Kelsang Dragpa the National Spiritual Director for the Nordic region.

"The theme is Awakening our Good Heart. Gen Dragpa will grant the empowerment of Buddha Maitreya and give teachings on the three aspects of love.

"People are participating from the whole Nordic region (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland) and some from the Netherlands and France.

"A few are able to attend in person at Nordisk Kadampa Meditasjonssenter in Oslo, Norway, and Kadampa Meditationscenter Stockholm in Sweden, but most people are taking part online. "

Stand by for more.
