Last weekend, Gen Kelsang Tonglam, National Spiritual Director for East Asia, granted the blessing empowerment of Dorje Shugden at the East Asian Dharma Celebration. Kelsang Dachog guided the meditations and Kadam Dianna guided the retreat.

"Gen Tonglam encouraged us to see everything in our life as Dorje Shugden's arrangement for our Dharma practice and have faith in our Dharma Protector that he will provide us everything we need to progress along our spiritual path until we attain enlightenment.

"Gen Tonglam also gave teachings on The Three Principal Aspects of the Path to Enlightenment based on The Mirror of Dharma with Additions and encouraged us to follow the unequalled example of Guru Je Tsongkhapa and make a strong determination to put his teachings into practice."
