Protecting our spiritual life
German Dharma Celebration
Last weekend, Kadampas from all over Germany gathered at Tharpaland KMC for the 2023 German Dharma Celebration with Gen Kelsang Ananda, the National Spiritual Director of NKT for Germany to celebrate and practice the precious Kadam Dharma together.
"In particular, we learned how to strengthen our faith in Je Tsongkhapa and how to deepen our experience of Kadam Dharma by relying in a qualified way on the Wisdom Dharma Protector of this lineage, Dorje Shugden."
"We kicked off NKT Day with two lovely meditations led by Gen Kelsang Khandro, Resident Teacher at KMC Munich; in the afternoon, Gen Ananda, NKT-IKBU National Spiritual Director for Germany, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovenia granted the empowerment of Dorje Shugden and we closed out the day with a joyful celebration of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and his legacy, the New Kadampa Tradition.
"On Sunday and Monday, Gen Ananda gave inspiring and practical teachings around the practice of the Sadhana Wishfulfilling Jewel. He emphasized the development of faith and transmitted the instructions of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche on how to conduct a Dorje Shugden close retreat."
