With the warmer weather, some centers are arranging public events outside so local people can see and join in mediation.

Over 350 people joined Bodhisattva KMC on the beach to engage in a short free meditation on the clarity of mind led by the Resident Teacher, Gen Thekchen.

The following weekend, KMC Deauchen participated in a mindfulness and wellness festival in Santo Tirso, followed by a group walk and meditation in a park in Porto on Sunday.
