PREPARATIONS
20th SPANISH DHARMA CELEBRATION 2025
DAY 1 ~ COMING TOGETHER
On Friday the 5th, the 20th Dharma Celebration began. Everyone is very happy to reunite with their spiritual friends and receive teachings from the NSD and the other Celebration Teachers.
In the evening, Gen Kelsang Trime gave the inspiring introductory teaching, encouraging us to go for refuge to the 3 Jewels.
DAY 2 ~ SPIRITUAL POWER TO REDUCE DELUSSIONS
On the second day, Gen Kelsang Rabjor helped us prepare our minds to receive the empowerment with a guided meditation.
Gen Kelsang Chokga then granted the blessing empowerment of Buddha Vajrapani and taught on the importance of spiritual power in order to reduce our inner obstacles.
Between sessions, people relaxed in the gardens or the terraces of the World Peace Café. At the end of the day we enjoyed Wishfulfilling Jewel prayers with a tsog offering.
DAY 3 ~ HOW TO RELY ON BUDDHA VAJRAPANI
On the third day, Gen Chokga continued teaching on the nature and function of Buddha Vajrapani and how to rely on him. Everyone was very inspired and we could understand how delusions work to steal our inner peace and how to reduce them.
DAY 4 ~ Inspiration at the Buddha Vajrapani Retreat
The retreat was led beautifully by Gen Kelsang Gema with the Yoga of Buddha Vajrapani practice in four sessions.
Then the Celebration ended, leaving us all wanting to see each other again and to continue practicing Dharma together next time.
Dearest Venerable Geshe-la, thank you for providing us with the best conditions to improve ourselves and advance on this joyful path.
