Summer Festival 2024 ~ Day 14
Aug 9, 2024
Recently Kadam Bridget gave an inspiring public talk to almost 60 people in the beautiful Cornish town of Truro on How to Develop a Peaceful Mind. This was the culmination of the ‘Cornwall Dharma Tour 2023’, where newly appointed Resident Teacher, Kelsang Yonchen, has taught a series of half day courses around the county in various towns.
erThe teachings with Kadam Bridget were very powerful, encouraging us to identify with the peaceful nature of our mind, rather than the thoughts and feelings we have which are part of the function of our mind. Many new people stayed afterwards for a hot drink and to hear more about the centre’s upcoming plans.
This was the culmination of the ‘Cornwall Dharma Tour 2023’, where Resident Teacher, Kelsang Yonchen, has taught a series of half day courses around the county in various towns with venues of all shapes and sizes, and a day course giving commentary to Heart Jewel practice. The series has been very well attended with many people coming to one or more events and it is clear that there are many people who are delighted to see the flourishing of Kadam Dharma in Cornwall with our new center Ganden Ling KBC.
In addition to the courses, there is now a thriving Foundation Program running weekly and 4 branch classes in various areas.
We are also looking forward to establishing a physical centre in the New Year, with plans underway for a commercial space in the very centre of Truro.
