Blessed Events in South America
Here are three blessed events from the last few weeks in South America that deepened students' connection with Buddha and their Sangha communities. The events are from Colombia; Rosario and Zona Norte in Argentina; and Montevideo in Uruguay.
transformation, growth and inner power in colombia
KMC Colombia held an event, The Power to Change from Within, where we received the empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani, who represents the spiritual power to overcome all internal and external obstacles, especially our delusions.
During the weekend, we received powerful teachings from our Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Atisha, who guided us to delve deeper into the most important aspects of this practice. He also gave teachings on the five forces that will enable us to strengthen our daily practice.
The event culminated with a retreat, where we had the opportunity to go even further into the practice of this Buddha, connecting deeply with his spiritual power and inspiring us to bring the teachings into our daily lives.
It was truly a weekend filled with transformation, growth, and inner power. We left renewed, with a deeper commitment to our practice.
CREATING CAUSES IN ROSARIO - ARGENTINA
On the weekend of 22 and 23 March we visited Rosario, a large city in Argentina. We had the opportunity to receive precious teachings on controlling fear, letting go, and practicing patience under the guidance of the second Resident Teacher of KMC Argentina, Kelsang Panchen
All the people from Rosario were very inspired and motivated, and several of them wished for a center to open in Rosario. We felt welcomed with warmth and much love! We hope to return to this beautiful city soon with monthly courses.
Thank you, Rosario!
MEDITATION AT THE BOTANICAL GARDENs IN MONTEVIDEO
About 20 people met to take a walk through the gardens while contemplating the part our mind plays in what we see and feel.
Then we found a beautiful place to sit and listen to Buddha's wisdom teachings and meditate with Kelsang Sheyang, the Resident Teacher of Uruguay.
We also shared some delicious homemade cakes, giving people the opportunity to connect with Sangha friends.
MEDITATION ON THE RIVERSIDE OF RIO DE LA PLATA
We had a wonderful day on the riverside of Rio de la Plata with the Sangha community of Zona Norte, Buenos Aires.
We walked, contemplated, and enjoyed two meditations, during which we connected with a precious experience of inner peace.
