Radiating Wisdom Blessings Worldwide
Mar 5, 2025
Fortunate Kadampas from Slovenia, Austria, Croatia and Italy gathered recently at KMC Slovenia in Ljubljana for a weekend course on the theme “Wisdom – your key to happiness”.
The teachings and meditations were led by the Resident Teachers of KMC Slovenia, Kadam Andrew and Kadam Božena and the course included the blessing empowerment of Wisdom Buddha, Manjushri.
Kadam Andrew gave teachings on the wisdom practices explained by Ven. Geshe-la in his book Heart Jewel and in his oral commentaries to the practice of the Manjushri self-generation sadhana Treasury of Wisdom.
He explained the wisdoms realizing conventional and ultimate truths, focussing particularly on helping us to understand how the law of karma is infallible while causes and effects lack inherent existence. He especially encouraged us to practically apply the advice given in Treasury of Wisdom: ‘Whenever I wish to engage in study Or ask even the slightest question, May I see without obstruction Protector Manjushri himself’.
‘Worldly intelligence is deceptive, whereas wisdom will never deceive us

On the weekend of 22-23 February 2025 Gen Kelsang Tara granted the blessing empowerment of Buddha Manjushri to KMC Perth practitioners followed by teachings on the four noble truths and a short retreat.
We learned how to use the wisdom of the four noble truths to take the essence of our precious human life for the benefit of all living beings and were able to immediately practice these instructions by engaging in the meditation practice of Manjushri.
An atmosphere of joy and happiness prevailed all weekend as practitioners deepened their connection with Buddha Manjushri, increasing their potential for boundless wisdom.
Our hearts are full of gratitude for Geshe-la’s teachings and to Gen Kelsang Tara for leading us through this beautiful weekend
This past weekend, KMC Arizona had the great fortune of hosting a profound and inspiring Buddha Manjushri empowerment. This special event, guided by our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Lingpur, was an opportunity for practitioners to connect deeply with the wisdom aspect of Buddha, opening their hearts and minds to clarity, insight, and inner transformation.
The ceremony was attended by a warm and dedicated community of practitioners, both new and experienced. The sacred space of the Temple was beautifully adorned, creating an atmosphere of peace and inspiration. Many participants shared that they felt a deep sense of blessing and renewal, as the empowerment helped them strengthen their connection with Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom.
Accompanying the empowerment was a commentary to the practice of Manjushri, offering practical advice on how to cultivate wisdom in daily life. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in guided meditations, mantra recitations, and reflections on how to integrate Manjushri’s qualities into their personal practice.
Below, we are pleased to share some wonderful moments from the event. These photos capture the joy and inspiration felt throughout the empowerment weekend, highlighting the spiritual beauty and sense of community that made this occasion so meaningful.
