with National Spiritual Director Gen Chokyong

For four days, Chilean Kadampas gathered at KMC Chile in Santiago for the annual Dharma Celebration. On this occasion, National Spiritual Director Gen Kelsang Chokyong granted the 1,000-arm Avalokiteshvara empowerment.

Practitioners from the six Kadampa centers currently in Chile had the incredible good fortune to receive these powerful blessings, and to listen to, contemplate, and meditate on these precious teachings.
