GEN-LA DEKYONG VISITs KMC LIVERPOOL
Public Talk at St George’s Hall, Liverpool
We were delighted that Gen-la accepted our invitation to give a Public Talk in Liverpool on April 3rd
Earlier in the day, she visited the center she helped establish in 1994, now KMC Liverpool, to preside at Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog. This was preceded by a talk given to the center community and followed by a lovely lunch and tsog party.
Later in the evening, in the iconic St George’s Hall, Liverpool, Gen-la gave a Public Talk to 350 people from Liverpool and Merseyside, explaining Venerable Geshe-la’s wisdom on how Love is the Key to Happiness.
We at KMC Liverpool thank Gen-la from the bottom of our hearts for her kindness in coming to speak to the people of Liverpool and Merseyside, and to Venerable Geshe-la for his blessings.
The whole day was a great success with so many people’s hearts touched by the extremely skilful way she shared Venerable Geshe-la’s supreme compassion and wisdom.
GEN ANANDA VISITs ATHENS IN GREECE
Kadampa students from Greece were very fortunate to welcome Gen Ananda to Athens. He explained the good qualities of the Sangha Jewel and how important it is to be part of a Sangha community.
As part of a day course, Gen Ananda then guided a very receptive audience through the reasons and ways to develop a stable meditation practice in troubled times.
To conclude his visit, he gave a public talk on how we can personally contribute to world peace, including beautiful teachings on why prayers work - and are the best method to benefit others, as Venerable Geshe-la taught.
Public Talk at Oak Park in chicago
Over 80 people enjoyed a meaningful morning listening to Buddha’s teachings shared by Gen Kelsang Zamling, KMC Chicago Resident Teacher, on how to understand the origin of all fear and how to gradually reduce it and replace it with a limitless source of inner peace, confidence, and resilience through meditation practice.
