public TALK AND day COURSE IN NANTES WITH GEN EUPAME
The Sangha at Kadampa Meditation Center Nantes had the great joy of welcoming Gen Eupamé, the National Spiritual Director for France.
Participants benefited from Gen Eupamé’s precious wisdom through a public talk followed by a full day of teachings at the center.
The weekend brought together more than one hundred people—some discovering Kadam Dharma for the first time and others enjoying warm reunions—united in a shared spirit of kindness, love, and openness. Motivated by a sincere wish to learn and understand, the gathering was filled with meaningful exchanges, joyful moments, and heartfelt conversations about Dharma.
Two Inspiring Events in Medellín with Gen Kelsang Atisha
Last weekend, the sangha in Medellín had the great joy of sharing two beautiful and meaningful events at Kadampa Meditation Center Colombia. Traveling from Bogotá, our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Atisha, visited the city to offer these special events, bringing great inspiration and encouragement to everyone who attended.
First was a Public Talk called The Power of Meditation. It was a wonderful gathering filled with openness, interest, and heartfelt connection. Many people were introduced to practical methods for developing inner peace and happiness, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful. We sincerely thank everyone who attended and all the kind volunteers whose joyful effort made this event possible.
PUBLIC TALK: THE POWER OF MEDITATION
We also held a course called Meditations for a Clear Mind, which offered participants the opportunity to engage more deeply with simple, practical meditations for cultivating clarity, calm, and inner balance in daily life. It was deeply inspiring to witness the sincere enthusiasm and openness of so many people wishing to transform their minds and lives.
May these virtuous activities become causes for lasting peace and happiness in Medellín and beyond.
