Special visit at KMC New Mexico
On Saturday March 25th KMC New Mexico had the great good fortune to recevive a visit from Gen Rigpa. 55 people began the day by engaging in 'Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers' with Gen Rigpa.
"Immediately following the prayers Gen Rigpa spoke to the community. He gave us a global perspective of the NKT-IKBU, explained the meaning of Geshe-la’s name, why we refer to him as Geshe-la, and encouraged us all to read The New Eight Steps to Happiness all our lives. He also explained the meaning of Tsog Offerings. His kind loving gentle manner touched the hearts of everyone in attendance.
"This was obvious when we moved to the café. The room was filled with joyous conversations and many people were able to meet Gen Rigpa."
