News from the post-Fall Festival retreats (Part I)
Following the successful Kadampa Fall Festival in Arizona, read about the inspiring post-festival retreats at KMC Madrid, KMC Alicante & KMC Valencia in Spain and KMC Chile.
Post-Fall Festival at KMC madrid in the Madrid mountains
We are so fortunate to receive the visit of Gen Kelsang Eupamé, National Spiritual Director of France.
Throughout the retreat he gave us wonderful teachings on Heart Jewel and the practice of Dorje Shugden.
His presence, his example, and his words — from the heart of our Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche — deeply inspired us.
We end the week with many blessings and a deep feeling of gratitude. Thank you, Gen Eupamé, for sharing so much Dharma and peace with all of us!
Post-Fall Festival at KMC chile with gen Rigden
Guided by visiting Teacher Gen Rigden, we meditated on the essence of the profound teachings transmitted at the Fall Festival.
It was a wonderful opportunity to deepen our practice of Heart Jewel together with precious Lamrim, Lojong, and Mahamudra, all these included in our practice of relying on the Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden.
May we always enjoy his protection, may everyone attain true happiness through Dharma practice, and may we all soon attain enlightenment!
Post-Fall Festival at KMC ALICANTE WITH GEN GANDEN
Thank you all for making this possible. Thank you, Geshe-la.
‘If we rely sincerely upon Dorje Shugden, he will arrange the conditions that are most conducive for our Dharma practice but these will not necessarily be the ones that we ourself would have chosen!’
Post-Fall Festival at KMC valencia with gen Rabjor
After the joy and inspiration of the International Fall Festival, practitioners gathered once again — this time at KMC Valencia — for a peaceful post-festival retreat guided by Gen Kelsang Rabjor.
Despite the rain, everyone came together with warmth, joy, and determination to deepen their experience of the teachings received at the Festival. Through clear guidance and beautiful meditations, Gen Rabjor helped us connect more deeply with the essence of Kadam Dharma — bringing the wisdom and inspiration of the Festival into our hearts and daily lives.
We are deeply grateful to Gen Rabjor for his kind guidance and to everyone who made this retreat possible. It was a special time to reflect, meditate, and continue nourishing the peace and inspiration we received from the Festival.
May the positive energy generated during this retreat benefit all beings and help bring lasting peace to our world.
