Ordination Day – Summer Festival 2026
Jul 24, 2026
The afternoon began with a refreshing drink and some welcome snacks, followed by a guided tour of the Temple and time to relax, stroll through the gardens, and take a break at the World Peace Cafe, where a variety of cakes and hot and cold drinks were available.
The main activity was a public talk by Gen Kelsang Trime, Resident Teacher of KMC Spain, entitled Choose to be happy: peace begins in you, with a short meditation.
Afterwards, there was a raffle, and finally, the lighting of the Temple in the evening, marking the end of a very special day.
Seeing the illumination of the Temple is a magical experience, placing deep imprints on people's minds that will stay with them forever.
Today is a special day in our Kadampa calendar. It is the Summer Festival 2026 ordination ceremony and the Temple is filled with the international community of ordained Sangha and 9 new ordainees who are receiving ordination from Gen-la Khyenrab.
