Centers around the world celebrated New Year’s Eve in various ways, entering 2025 with Buddha’s blessings. Communities gathered to enjoy courses, empowerments, chanted prayers, and festive buffets to start the year in the most meaningful way. See the article to hear from Manjushri KMC and KMC Darlington in the UK, Tharpaland KMC and KMC Hamburg in Germany.
The practice of purification is one of the four great preliminary practices. The practice of Meditation and Recitation of Buddha Vajrasattva is a powerful method for purifying our mind and actions. Recently KMC Spain, KMC Barcelona, KMC Madrid and KMC Cologne in Germany engaged in this wonderful purification practice, organizing retreats at their centers.
At KMC New York, people from around the US and the world gathered for a powerful experience: to receive the blessing empowerment of Buddha Maitreya, the Buddha of loving kindness, and listen to teachings on the six perfections with Gen Samten Kelsang.
Entering 2025, enjoy an inspiring feature video celebrating the restoration project of the First Kadampa Temple for World Peace.
