"Gen Rabten granted the blessing empowerment of Avalokiteshvara the Buddha of Compassion and gave teachings on the practices of developing our highest potential and deepening our pure heart.

"It was a very special time for everyone, and a delight to spend time with our precious National Director. Though he was teaching from the mother center in the UK, he felt very present and brough pure Kadam Dharma directly into our hearts.

"Thank you Gen Rabten for a wonderful weekend, and thank you from the depths of our hearts Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, for making all this possible."
