Spring Festival 2026 Day 1
May 22, 2026
In nine sessions over three weeks in January, a group of fortunate people attended a special course called Meditations for Busy People at KMC Monterrey in Mexico.
"Guen Kelsang Shima, the Resident Teacher, gave teachings about how to learn to cherish others followed by meditations to transform adverse conditions through compassion and develop our wisdom and spiritual power.
"The community was very inspired, finding a profound source of happiness in their own heart. Everyone benefited from this event, spreading the beautiful example of Kadam Dharma practice throughout the city."
The sun is shining and it's a delightfully warm English spring day. All day people stream in to Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in the Lake District - on coaches, in cars, by foot and in taxis. As new arrivals head to registration and get oriented, simultaneously preparations continue for the Festival to run smoothly in
