Summer Festival Day 3

Another glorious day at the Festival, with sublime teachings from Gen-la Khyenrab on how to develop love, compassion and the precious mind of Bodhichitta. Gen-la encouraged us to really train our mind, in his words to engage in ‘repetitive virtuous thinking’, to never give up or give in to discouragement but always to keep our intention to develop these beneficial minds.

Summer Festival Day 2

Today is the first full day of festival, with opportunities from morning to night to enjoy holy Dharma. Starting with clear and peaceful morning meditations with Gen Demo, then two sessions of sublime Lamrim teachings from Gen-la Khyenrab and ending joyfully with prayers to our Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden.
