Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab

This year at the Mother Center, Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Center, many Resident Teachers from around the world came to study and meditate on the meaning of the ninth and tenth chapters of Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life by Shantideva and its commentary, Meaningful to Behold by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

The first Temple for World Peace welcomed 180 Teachers, where every day for three weeks, they increased their wisdom and practice of Dharma with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director of the NKT-IKBU.

The last class of the course took place on Saturday, July 20 with a group discussion.
