Post Summer Festival retreats in UK and Switzerland
Here are three more inspiring Post-Festival retreats, two in the UK at Tara IKRC and Madhyamaka Kadampa Meditation Centre and one in Switzerland at Kailash IRC.
an incredible post summer festival retreat with gen-la Khyenrab
Just coming out of the most transformative week at the Post Summer Festival retreat with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab at Tara IKRC. It’s hard to put into words the sense of peace and clarity that’s settled in my mind.
The teachings weren't just theoretical; they were a smooth, practical guide to untangling my everyday chaos. The atmosphere was so blessed and supportive, filled with genuine warmth from every single retreater. My heart is so full. Already counting down the days until next time.
Thank you, Gen-la, and big love to the entire Sangha!
Post Summer Festival Retreat with Gen Samten Kelsang
wonderful and inspiring Post Summer Festival retreat at Kailash IRC in Switzerland has come to an end. Under the guidance of Gen Samten Kelsang we deepened our experience of how to mix our daily appearances with the practice of Lamrim, following the Advice from Atisha's Heart.
With these insights we can start our daily, busy life with a deep understanding of how to bring Dharma into our lives. How fortunate we are!
BECOMING A MODERN KADAMPA
POST SUMMER FESTIVAL RETREAT WITH GEN TONGLAM
Over seventy Kadampas from all over the world joined together for this precious opportunity to deepen our experience of the instructions on Advice from Atisha's Heart, which we received from Gen-la Dekyong and Gen-la Jampa at the Summer Festival.
Gen Tonglam guided the retreat with such precision and care, skilfully and humbly inspiring us to transform our hearts and our lives, so that we too can become pure, modern Kadampas.
Thank you, Venerable Geshe-la and Gen Tonglam. We are truly grateful for this wonderful experience. May we all become sincere modern Kadampa disciples and bring real benefit to this world.
