French Dharma Celebration 2025
Last weekend, over 320 people from all over France gathered at Kadampa Meditation Center France, our national center, to celebrate the 2025 Dharma Celebration together.

with Gen Kelsang Eupame
When the Sangha come together with a shared wish — to cultivate inner peace — something very special happens. These photos capture all that energy: the presence, the kindness, the shared smiles, and those moments when you feel that the practice connects us beyond words.
The atmosphere was filled with peace and deep joy: the Sangha was delighted to reunite and share this precious time together.
We were very fortunate to receive the blessing empowerment of 1,000 Armed Avalokiteshvara — a profoundly moving moment that touched the hearts of all participants.
Teachings & Empowerment with Gen Eupame
Gen Eupamé, Resident Teacher at KMC France and National Spiritual Director, gave clear and inspiring teachings. Guided meditations led by Gen Dényi, Resident Teacher at Drolma KBC in Rennes, allowed everyone to deepen their inner experience and connect directly with universal compassion.
The harmony, the beauty of the practices, and the kindness shared at every moment made this weekend deeply special. Many left with inspired hearts, determined to grow their compassion and put the teachings they received into practice.
A huge heartfelt thank you to Venerable Geshe-la: due to his vision and kindness, we have the opportunity to come together, receive these extraordinary blessings, and progress on the inner path in an authentic and joyful way.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this warm atmosphere during this incredible Celebration! May Kadam Dharma continue to flourish throughout France and the world!
