Helping people
Find Dharma
Through various types of events organized by Dharma Centers, many people can create the potentials to attain liberation in the future. Here are some activities of Tharpa Sweden, Heruka KMC Fort Collins, KMC Trois-Rivières and KMC Mexico.
Two Auspicious Accomplishments for Tharpa Sweden
We’re happy to share two important milestones that mark a new chapter for Dharma in Sweden.
First, the book How to Solve Our Human Problems by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has now been officially translated and published in Swedish.
This timeless guide offers practical methods for transforming daily difficulties into spiritual growth. Having it available in Swedish makes its wisdom more accessible than ever before.
Second, for the first time, the Wishfulfilling Jewel prayer has been translated and recorded in Swedish. This is a major step in supporting a deeper connection to Je Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden for Swedish-speaking practitioners.
To celebrate, a group of dedicated practitioners gathered for the first puja using the Swedish recording. It was a moving and meaningful moment—the beginning of a new era for our community.
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who made these translations possible and to those who continue to bring Dharma to life in Sweden.
"Introduction to Buddhism" Book Talk in Fort Collins
Heruka KMC held a free Introduction to Buddhism book talk at the Fort Collins Barnes & Noble bookstore.
We met 20 new people from our local community, handed out free class cards, shared the life story of Buddha, guided meditations, and held discussions about the mind and its relationship to inner peace.
Two additional positive outcomes from this initiative are that the Fort Collins Barnes & Noble now carries several books by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for sale, and Heruka KMC will receive a donation from Barnes & Noble through their Community Outreach program, “Book Fairs.”
Public talks in Central Quebec
KMC Trois-Rivières organized a series of public talks this spring in Drummondville, Victoriaville, Joliette, and Shawinigan on the topic The Art of Letting Go, led by Resident Teacher Kelsang Tsulma.
It’s truly inspiring to see communities and new attendees come together to meditate and uplift one another. We hope this initiative will help launch future potential branches in the central Quebec region.
Our gratitude to our Founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, runs deep in our hearts.
We are also deeply thankful to everyone who made these events possible—it is truly touching.
PUBLIC TALK WITH GEN RABTEN IN MEXICO
More than 400 people, both in person and online, gathered for a public talk with Gen Kelsang Rabten.
Together, we reflected deeply on the origins of anxiety and explored six powerful methods for overcoming it.
We left feeling deeply inspired to become better people—transforming our minds and our inner worlds.
