Post Spring Festival retreats in Spain
Jun 6, 2026
Over 100 people enjoyed the Empowerment of Green Tara with Kadam Bridget Heyes, the NKT-IKBU National Spiritual Director for the UK and Ireland, at the 2026 Irish Dharma Celebration.
The beautifully grand yet rural setting in Co Down offered a peaceful and inspiring environment for Sangha from across the country to gather, receive profound and powerful teachings from our National Spiritual Director, and spend meaningful and joyful time together.
On January 31 and February 1 at KMC Montpellier, we concluded our wonderful retreat month with teachings on how to integrate the practice of the Six Perfections into daily life, followed by the Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony. Thank you to Venerable Geshe-la, Resident Teacher Kadam Olivier, and all the participants and organizers!
At the beginning of February, KMC Argentina visited the Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve in Buenos Aires, where they shared a walk, two guided meditations with beautiful teachings, and breakfast with more than 180 people.
Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Rinchung, shared teachings on how to maintain a peaceful and happy mind, and guided two meditations for daily practice. She also explained what Buddhism is in general and Kadampa Buddhism in particular, introduced Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, and invited participants to visit their nearest centers and branches. Everyone left very happy.
Deepening our practice with three inspiring Post-Festival retreats in Spain: Gen-la Jampa in Barcelona, Gen-la Kunsang in Madrid and Gen Pandita in Granada.
