In the afternoon a very special ordination ceremony took place at a nearby modern Art Theatre. Twenty-five fortunate kadampa practitioners were newly ordained by Gen-la Khyenrab and over a hundred monks and nuns were there as witnesses and to retake their own ordination vows. When asked their experience of the ceremony one monk said, “It was glorious” and that Gen-la made it feel clear and uncomplicated to be a Kadama ordained person. During the ceremony Gen-la emphasized the importance of following Buddha’s example, and being inspired by Buddha’s life. It was very special for so many ordained to be able to gathered together once again, after such a long time.
