Day 3 ~ Appreciating Our Precious Human Life
Jul 27, 2026
Last weekend at Tharpaland KMC Germany, Gen Kelsang Ananda, the Resident Teacher and NKT-IKBU National Spiritual Director for Germany, granted the blessing empowerment of Medicine Buddha.
In the subsequent teachings, Gen Ananda gave a powerful explanation of the five Mahayana paths and showed how we can train in them in conjunction with the practice of Medicine Buddha.
"Gen Ananda skilfully taught how to increase our desire for authentic Dharma practice and how we can progress towards our goal of enlightenment in conjunction with the Medicine Buddha Sadhana.
"Everyone was delighted to receive such wonderful blessings and teachings. Thank you Gen Ananda."
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
