Post-Festival Retreat at KMC Barcelona with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab
Over 150 people joined this beautiful retreat with Gen-la Khyenrab, enjoying profound Dharma teachings, connecting with the Protector, and bringing Heart Jewel into their own hearts.
We feel deeply grateful to our Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, for his immeasurable kindness in preparing these retreats that allow us to gain real experience.
It was such a blessed and inspiring time, filled with joy, peace, and the warmth of Sangha friends from many places.
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this retreat so meaningful.

Post Fall Festival Retreat at Nagarjuna KMC with Gen Lekma
We are grateful to Gen Lekma for leading our post-Fall Festival retreat at Nagarjuna Thornby Hall! Her heartfelt teachings helped us integrate Festival insights, strengthen our Heart Jewel practice, and deepen our connection with the Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden.
This retreat has left us refreshed, inspired, and ready to continue our practice with new energy.
Post Fall Festival Retreat at KMC ALBACETE with Gen RIGMA
Many thanks to everyone who made this wonderful post-festival retreat, Overcome All Your Obstacles, possible.
From this auspicious weekend, we felt encouraged to practice Heart Jewel sadhana daily, just as we eat daily. We learned to rely on Dorje Shugden to overcome obstacles and receive blessings that strengthen our spiritual practice and inner peace.
Dorje Shugden always helps, guides and protects pure and faithful practitioners by granting blessings, increasing their wisdom, fulfilling their wishes, and bestowing success on all their virtuous activities.
