Ordination Day
Summer Festival 2025
New Sangha Jewels are Born
Today new Sangha Jewels were born from their Renunciation and took the meaningful step of seeking ordination, surrounded by a great assembly of dedicated Kadampa monks and nuns acting as their witnesses and with Gen-la Dekyong as the ordaining preceptor.
Through the great kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, modern people have the opportunity to practice the ordination vows exactly in accordance with Buddha's intention. Gen-la shared precious teachings from an ordination ceremony with Geshe-la originally given in 2007 where he described very clearly not only what the ordination vows are - a mental action - but also how to keep them purely and sincerely throughout our life in conjunction with our Lamrim practice.
Gen-la Dekyong deeply inspired the ordained Sangha with her powerful teachings encouraging us to always maintain a strong determination to cherish our vows and enjoy our spiritual life. In this way we can become pure examples in the world and benefit others.
We dedicated:
"May the Dharma Centres of all knowing Losang Dragpa be filled with hosts of Sanghas and Yogis,
Striving to practice single-pointedly the three pure trainings
And thus may there be the auspiciousness of Buddha's Doctrine remaining for a very long time."
