Spring Festival 2026 Day 6
May 27, 2026
Over 40 people from around the world sharing a common dream to become a qualified Teacher of modern Kadampa Buddhism gathered last night in the North Wing Meditation Room at Manjushri KMC with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
And so begun the 2023 Intensive Teacher Training Program. For the next six months they will study two books by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche - Modern Buddhism and Joyful Path of Good Fortune - with Gen-la and train in essential teaching skills.
Last night Gen-la gave a brief introduction to the program, and the students introduced themselves to each other. What a wonderful development!
The temple is full of dedicated practitioners from around the world meditating in two final sessions on deepening our mind of compassion until it transforms into the compassion of a Buddha. In this way we awaken our Buddha nature - wishing to attain Enlightenment for all living beings.
