German National Festival in November 2024
Nov 14, 2024
11 December 2023
With great warmth, we celebrated the Spanish Dharma Celebration! From across Spain, over 300 people and 100 more online, gathered at the beautiful Kadampa Temple for World Peace located at KMC Spain.
During our Dharma Celebration, we received the Empowerment of Buddha Amitayus from Gen Kelsang Chokga, the National Spiritual Director of Spain and Portugal. Then Gen Chokga gave a commentary to the Yoga of Buddha Amitayus the Buddha of long life, merit and wisdom, helping us to understand this profound practice and the benefits of engaging in it.
During the Celebration, we enjoyed teachings on the importance of engaging in qualified meditation to integrate Dharma into our hearts. To help us prepare our minds and deepen our experience of the practice, Gen Kelsang Sherab guided us in morning meditations and Gen Kelsang Rabjor led us in a brief retreat.
We appreciate everyone for being part of this event, this wonderful Sangha, and our founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who gives us these beautiful and meaningful spiritual celebrations. May we always attend them and repay his kindness.
