Wonderful events before Spring Festival
Just before the Spring Festival, some wonderful events have unfolded across the Kadampa world. Practitioners gathered with joyful minds for powerful retreats, public talks and a walk for world peace. These were moments to celebrate our deep connection as Sangha.
Opening of the new Kadampa center in Murcia
Our center has moved to a new location in Plaza Mayo 5 in Murcia. It was very exciting to start our activities there with Offering to the Spiritual Guide, followed by an open day and a class by the Resident Teacher, Kadam Elisa.
The following day, our National Spiritual Director for Spain, Gen Kelsang Chokga, visited and gave a course with an attendance of about 100 people.
It is great good fortune to help Dharma flourish in Murcia. We are grateful for the support and help of the Sangha in making this project possible.
We would like to express our most sincere thanks to the Sangha, the managers, and, above all, to our Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, for his immeasurable kindness.
WALK FOR WORLD PEACE in new mexico
Every year, KMC New Mexico hosts an event to raise funds for the NKT International Temples Project, dedicated to world peace. Our event this year was a Walk for World Peace held last Saturday.
The day began with a guided meditation by our Resident Teacher, Gen Khyenwang, where we set our intention to create world peace. We then walked through our local neighborhood holding the intention of world peace. Afterwards, we all enjoyed a delicious lunch together.
Everyone had great fun as we raised awareness of our wonderful cause with all who encountered us. Thank you to everyone who participated!
HEALING THE MIND TO SUPPORT THE BODY
A VISIT TO INSTITUTE GUTTMANN NEURO-REHABILITATION CENTER
The Resident Teacher of the Kadampa Meditation Center in Barcelona, Gen Kelsang Lochani, visited the Institute Guttmann, a leading neuro-rehabilitation center, to offer a talk to both patients and healthcare professionals. In a warm and accessible way, she shared Buddhist wisdom on how to cultivate a peaceful mind, regardless of one’s physical condition or external circumstances.
Through meditation and inner training, she encouraged attendees to develop serenity, empathy, and gratitude. The central message: happiness and suffering are states of mind, and we can learn to transform our mind.
It was an inspiring and hopeful gathering that left a deep impression in the hearts of all who attended.
Find Your Inner Stillness – Away Retreat in South Africa
We held a wonderful away retreat, Find Your Inner Stillness, exploring meditation and developing concentration. The attendees were an enthusiastic and delightful group of mainly beginners, who appreciated Venerable Geshe-la's great kindness, and teachings on meditation practice.
From an attendee: Thank you for the meaningful teachings that made my consciousness expand, and for your friendliness.
