"If we realize emptiness directly, we will be permanently free from all the sufferings of this life and countless future lives. There is no greater meaning than this."
- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
In October 2013, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche gave his last public teachings in Portugal. During these teachings, Geshe-la granted the empowerment of Great Mother Prajnaparamita and taught the Essence of Wisdom Sutra (Heart Sutra), which contains the heart essence of Buddha's perfection of wisdom teachings.
Through this video, learn about the female Buddha Prajnaparamita and how she can help us develop and maintain a peaceful mind by increasing our wisdom and removing obstacles. During the International Summer Festival 2024 we will revisit these precious teachings and receive additional priceless jewels that Venerable Geshe-la has shared personally since then!
Developing the Wisdom to Cherish Others and Flourish Dharma in our Modern World. Last weekend, EPCs and ADs from across the United States came together for meaningful and inspiring training led by American and European Kadampa Managers.
