Day 2 ~ Welcome home
Jul 26, 2026
Yesterday, Sunday, we reported that KMC Madrid has sold its residential building in the city and acquired a magnificent site just outside the city for retreats and residential courses.
And previously we reported that Tharpa Spain, which previously was based at the property in Madrid, was relocating to KMC Spain in Málaga. As can be seen from the photos below, with the arrival of the pallets from Madrid at the newly acquired Tharpa Spain warehouse, the move is now completed. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of Kelsang Jamyang and the team, Tharpa Spain's new headquarters is rapidly taking shape.
Meanwhile, in the very north of Spain, Centro de meditación Maitreya in Bilbao, which was previously a branch of KMC Madrid, has now acquired a commercial space in the city where the people of Bilbao can receive teachings from the Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Trime and enjoy pujas and other spiritual activities right in the heart of the city.
The first full day of the festival starts with a very peaceful morning meditation. The temple is full of happy campers and Kadampas enjoying the opportunity to meditate in a great assembly.
