News from the post Spring Festival retreats
Following the beautiful Kadampa Spring Festival 2025, there were two inspiring post-festival retreats in the UK, at Nagarjuna KMC and Madhayamaka KMC, as well as two more in Spain, at KMC Granada and KMC Barcelona.
inspiring Post Spring Festival Retreat with Gen Demo
Love and kindness flowed effortlessly as Sangha members from across the country gathered for an inspiring post-Spring Festival retreat with Gen Demo. Rooted in the teachings of Buddha Maitreya—the embodiment of loving-kindness and the future Buddha—the retreat offered a profound space for connection, renewal, and inner transformation. Through heartfelt teachings and guided practice, Gen Demo beautifully shared the wisdom and compassion of Buddha Maitreya, helping us deepen our understanding and experience of boundless love. In this shared space, the spirit of Maitreya came alive, uniting us in a collective journey toward a more compassionate heart and world.
Six Days of Loving Kindness:
post festival Retreat with Gen Devi at Madhyamaka KMC
We had a wonderful post-Spring Festival retreat at Madhyamaka KMC with Gen Devi.
Kadampas from all around the world gathered together for six blissful days to gain deeper experience of the beautiful meditations in The Yoga of Buddha Maitreya ~ the Buddha of Loving Kindness. Gen Devi skilfully and joyfully guided us deeper and deeper with the meditations, encouraging us to stop our distractions and ordinary minds, and fully embrace this beautiful practice. May we all quickly attain the state of the Buddha of Loving Kindness.
post SPRING festival retreat with gen mudita in granada
This weekend, we enjoyed a post-Spring Festival retreat led by Gen Kelsang Mudita, who inspired us with her immense love and compassion.
Throughout the retreat, we received profound and practical teachings on how to develop affectionate love, cherishing love, and wishing love.
We have no words to express our gratitude for this transformative experience. Retreats allow us to imbue our minds with wisdom and bring the teachings to our hearts. In addition to the sessions, we shared precious moments of contemplation, laughter, walks, and delicious meals in a peaceful setting.
A heartfelt thank you to Gen Mudita for her warm and loving guidance, to all the participants for their inspiring presence, and to the volunteers for making this unforgettable experience possible.
OVERCOMing ATTACHMENT at KMC Barcelona
We recently enjoyed a precious post-Spring Festival retreat with Gen Kelsang Ganden at Kadampa Meditation Center Barcelona, near the sacred mountain of Montserrat — a beautiful setting for meaningful teachings, guided meditations, and heartfelt connections.
Together, we explored how to overcome attachment through the wisdom of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, finding space to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with what truly matters.
It was a renewing experience that left us filled with peace, clarity, and inspiration to continue our inner journey. Thank you to everyone who made this retreat so special.
