NEWS FROM POST-FALL FESTIVAL RETREATS (PART II)
This is the second part of a post about post-fall festival retreats. Read about inspiring retreats at KMC Mexico, Kailash IRC in Switzerland, KMC Madrid in Spain and KMC Monterrey in Mexico.
Post-Fall Festival at KMC mexico with gen tonglam
This weekend we had the joy of participating in the 2025 Post Fall Festival retreat with the beloved Teacher, Gen Tonglam, National Spiritual Director of East Asia, who once again gave us his clear and profound guidance.
More than 150 people gathered to contemplate and meditate on the essential practice of Kadampa Buddhism, Heart Jewel. During the retreat, we learned how to develop sincere faith in the Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden, and take refuge in him to help us transform all adverse circumstances into opportunities for spiritual growth, thus advancing on the path to permanent happiness.
We reflected on suffering and its root, and with open hearts we asked for Dorje Shugden's help to make our practice stable, profound and successful.
We wholeheartedly thank Gen Tonglam for his inspiring presence; the organizers and volunteers for their dedication; and each participant who filled the retreat with peace, joy and wisdom.
May this experience motivate us to continue practicing with faith and determination on our path to enlightenment.
POST-FALL FESTIVAL retreat AT KAILASH IRC WITH GEN CHOKGA
During this inspiring retreat we had the opportunity to take the teachings received during the International Fall Festival in Arizona to heart.
We deepened our practice of relying on our Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden and built a solid base for our Dharma realizations. With the protecting wisdom of this enlightened Deity it’s so much easier to follow the correct path and be able to see every challenge as a favorable opportunity to grow in our Dharma practice.
Besides the sessions, the changing colours of the surrounding trees invited us to disconnect from all our daily activities.
What a wonderful week. Thanks a lot Gen Chokga for your heartfelt teachings!!!
The second part of the post-fall festival retreat at KMC Madrid
In this second part of the fall retreat, guided by Gen Devi, we experienced a weekend filled with peace, reflection, and shared joy.
We deepened our understanding of how to transform the circumstances of our daily life into precious opportunities for inner growth, with our Protector Dorje Shugden.
We feel deep gratitude towards Gen Devi, Gen Eupamé, and especially towards Venerable Geshe-la, whose immense kindness makes it possible for us to continue following this path.
We concluded the retreat with our hearts deeply moved and inspired, determined to bring this light into our daily lives.
POST-FALL FESTIVAL retreat AT KMC MONTERREY WITH GEN LOCHANI
This weekend we enjoyed profound teachings and meditations from the 2025 International Fall Festival with guest Teacher Gen Kelsang Lochani from KMC Barcelona.
Each session was very inspiring and we discovered special methods to overcome our obstacles and stay positive and happy.
Thank you to Gen Lochani, to all the participants, and to the volunteers who helped with this very special event.
