Summer Festival 2024 ~ Day 15
Aug 10, 2024
Two new developments are happening in Spain. In Girona they are almost ready for the official opening in September and in Murcia they have purchased a new property in the historic center of Murcia city.
KMC Girona began as a branch of KMC Barcelona and was established as an independent center a few years ago. Now, after the purchase of a beautiful new space and after several months of renovation, the students are preparing for the official opening with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang in September.
The building houses a spacious meditation room, a World Peace Cafe, a Tharpa and gift shop, offices and a private residential room.
All the students are very excited about this new project that will lead to greater development and growth of Kadam Dharma in Girona.
Sugata Kadampa Buddhist Center (Murcia, Spain), has recently been named a Kadampa Meditation Center, KMC Murcia, and has purchased a new location in the historic center of Murcia. Measuring 200 square meters, with high ceilings and a large façade, it is located in the heart of the city, in the middle of the main streets and avenues, in the popular Plaza Mayor.
The center has two levels. On the ground floor there will be a large meditation room, visible from the outside, in addition to the reception, shop, offices, warehouse and an adapted bathroom. Going upstairs there are two large rooms that will provide a place for the Teacher and a World Peace Cafe. The cafe can have a video link from the meditation room so it can function as an extension for large events.
After the building work and renovations are completed, this new beginning will be a great boost for the development and growth of Kadampa Buddhism in the Murcia region.
