Southwest Dharma Celebration 2023
Last weekend, to celebrate NKT Day, the IKRC Grand Canyon hosted 200 people, 150 in person and 50 online for the Southwest Dharma Celebration.
All nine centers from the Southwest gathered to receive the blessing empowerment of Dorje Shudgen from Gen Kelsang Rigpa, the Western US National Spiritual Director.
"Gen Kelsang Tabkay, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Phoenix gave the opening teaching and Gen Kelsang Wangpo, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Houston led the morning meditation.
"It felt as if the entire grounds of the IKRC were filled with love, joy and plenty of laughter!
"I cannot wait to come back every year for the SWDC here, this place is absolutely magical. Next year, I'm dragging everyone I can to attend!"
"Heartfelt thanks to Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the source of all this goodness and virtue."
