The day was full of happiness, we enjoyed guided tours of the Temple and its surroundings, a public talk, songs, storytelling, and, of course, "Happy Birthday to you" with a birthday cake.

In the talk, our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Rigden, emphasised the various aspects of the Temple, and explained that it holds a treasure: the Buddha's millennia-old teachings on love, wisdom and compassion that are so necessary in these challenging times we are going through.

At the end of the event, we all shared a feeling of gratitude for the infinite kindness of our most beloved Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, summarised in three words:
THANK YOU GESHE-LA!
