An Ocean of Compassion in Canada

Canadian National Festival ~ June 16-20, 2023

“When we become a Buddha our happiness radiates eternally as compassion,
nourishing all living beings, and gradually drawing them into the same state.”

- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

This year at the Canadian National Festival 2023 attendees will be granted a Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara and will receive teachings on compassion with Gen Samten Kelsang.

Gen Samten Kelsang will teach how to increase love, compassion, and bodhichitta. Specifically, he will guide participants on taking concrete actions to benefit others through the practice of the eleven main ways of helping others as presented by Arya Asanga. By engaging in these methods, compassion will continuously expand until it becomes an ocean of compassion, reflecting the universal compassion of a fully enlightened being, a Buddha.
