Coming together in California
This weekend KMC Los Angeles hosted the California Dharma Celebration - a special time for Kadampas in California.
Gen Kelsang Rigpa, Western US National Spiritual Director and Resident Teacher at KMC Los Angeles, granted the blessing empowerment of Buddha White Tara and gave teachings from the practical text on Buddhist psychology and meditation, The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
"Dharma Celebrations are so valuable. They offer a place to receive blessings of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, all at once. This weekend's California Dharma Celebration was no exception.
The introductory talk was taught by Gen Choma and the meditations were lead by Gen Tsoglam.
