Meaningful Community Events In France
May 18, 2026
The Sangha of KMC Argentina gathered in nature for a simple yet truly special morning — Breakfast with Meditation — guided by Kelsang Panchen.
Amid the beauty of the outdoors, practitioners explored one of Buddha's most profound and practical insights: without inner peace, outer peace is impossible.
The gathering was a gentle reminder that the peace we seek in the world always begins within our own mind — and that each person who learns to transform their mind genuinely contributes to a more peaceful world.
Heruka KMC in Fort Collins, Colorado, is joyfully welcoming a wave of young visitors. After a young mother reached out with a heartfelt request for children's meditation classes, Resident Teacher Kerrin Perniciaro created a new weekly children's program — with seven children exploring breathing meditation, gratitude, and the clarity of mind through homemade glittering mind jars and the vast Colorado skies.
Around the same time, more than 40 students from a local school arrived for a world religions field trip, asking thoughtful questions about karma and past lives. A wonderful sign of the Dharma flourishing in Northern Colorado, and of how open these doors are to everyone.
As the last cold days of winter settled over Alicante, the Sangha of KMC Alicante in Spain gathered on the outskirts of the city for a special Vajradaka Retreat guided by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Ganden — a precious opportunity to purify the mind and deepen one's connection with this powerful tantric practice.
The Sangha of Bodhisattva KBC in Mexico gathered for a special course — Love Without Chains — guided by Resident Teacher Jorge Sánchez.
Through warm and practical teachings, practitioners explored the true meaning of happiness and how to cultivate it in daily life. The evening concluded with a shared meal, creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere that perfectly embodied the spirit of the teachings.
