Gen-la Khyenrab illuminated the importance of developing deep faith in Buddha White Tara. He also encouraging everyone to keep their practice in mind during the meditation break, especially when visiting the World Peace Cafe!

People of all different experience levels gathered together for this special event, from new branch class attendees to experienced Kadampas. Everybody enjoyed volunteering to make the weekend run smoothly, including helping out in the meditation room and cleaning up after lunch! A special characteristic of Kadampa weekends is everybody working together to cherish each other and help each other enjoy the environment and the teachings.

A 3-day retreat led by Gen Losel followed to really take the teachings deep into the heart and gain familiarity with the Yoga of Buddha White Tara and self generation meditation. Thank you to Venerable Geshe-la for creating such a rare and precious opportunity to receive incredibly powerful blessings and for bringing the true essence of Dharma practice to us all. The clear teachings and simple prayer booklets enable modern busy people to truly take the teachings to heart and carry them throughout our daily lives.
