Everyone welcome!
In recent weeks some Kadampa Centers have opened their doors in a variety of ways to allow many people to find and get to know the Kadampa Tradition.
Here Madhyamaka KMCÂ with its annual Fair, Nargarjuna KMC with its Summer Fete and, in Buenos Aires, Nagarjuna KBC with its Open Doors.
a great day at the fair at Madhyamaka KMC
Last weekend Madhyamaka KMC held their annual summer fair. People from the local area brought their families to a great day of fun and entertainment, within the beautiful grounds and historic house of Kilnwick Percy Hall.
The day included taster meditation sessions for children and adults; tours of the meditation rooms and historic housekids activities and games; and exploring a fire engine and police van with staff from the Fire Brigade and police.
It was a great day out and wonderful to see so many people enjoying beautiful Madhyamaka KMC.
Summer Fete at Nagarjuna KMC
Fun and games were had by all who came from around Thornby and other villages to our annual Summer Fete at Nagarjuna KMC, Thornby Hall. There were live bands playing a wide selection of country music on the lawn, opera singers on the terrace, Thai Chi demonstrations in the flower garden, and meditations in the Hall.
There was plenty to keep the kids entertained with face painting, hook a duck, and tin can knock down amongst other games. Lots of options for shopping, with a variety of local craft stalls spread around the grounds along with Bric a Brac, plants, and a tombola. No chance of anyone going hungry with 2 cafes serving yummy cakes, hot food stalls, and ice cream.
We would like to thank all our wonderful volunteers from Thornby and Leicester for making it such a great day.
Open Doors in buenos aires, zona norte
A few weeks ago, we had a beautiful activity called Open Doors where we opened our Center to the entire community. Visitors had the opportunity to receive teachings, learn the meaning of our shrine and its offerings, enjoy delicious snacks, pray for peace in the world, and we had a fun raffle!
Nagarjuna KBC is open to everyone who wants to improve their life and cultivate inner peace by putting Buddha's teachings into practice.
Thank you very much Geshe-la!
