Spring Festival 2026 Day 2
May 24, 2026
230 Resident Teachers from over 40 countries around the world have gathered for the annual Intensive Teacher Training Program with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
Normally everyone assembles at the mother center, Manjushri KMC, but this year due to travel restrictions they are assembling in smaller groups at 12 different locations around the world and connecting with Gen-la's teachings online, while some are joining virtually from other locations.
The largest group is at Manjushri KMC, where Gen-la opened the program on Saturday night.
After the meditations, as people congregate over lunch and in the cafés, there is an air of anticipation, with everyone looking forward to the main event of the day: the Blessing Ceremony of Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of Long Life.
