Post Spring Festival retreats in Spain
Jun 6, 2026
It was a wonderful weekend of wisdom at KMC Georgia in Atlanta last weekend! We received the empowerment of Buddha Manjushri and teachings on wisdom from our Resident Teacher, Kelsang Dechok. Gen Norbu, the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center NC kindly gave an introduction and a guided meditation.
Participants came from around the Southeast, including from our branch class in Chattanooga, Tennessee. With the inspiration of Manjushri in our hearts, we go forth with newfound wisdom to be of benefit to ourselves and those around us.
From the 5th to the 7th of September at KMC Alicante, 50 of us received the empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of compassion.
Thanks to the blessings of our precious Spiritual Guide, venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, our Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Ganden, transmitted valuable teachings and instructions on the effective method of cultivating universal compassion, in order to benefit all beings.
Empowerments enable us to create a special bond with a particular Buddha, learning more about them and their precious meaning. If we trust in Avalokiteshvara, we will naturally increase our compassion. Thank you, Geshe-la.
Deepening our practice with three inspiring Post-Festival retreats in Spain: Gen-la Jampa in Barcelona, Gen-la Kunsang in Madrid and Gen Pandita in Granada.
