Ordination Day – Summer Festival 2026
Jul 24, 2026
This special retreat at the First Kadampa Temple for World Peace at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre began with an introduction by our General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Jampa. Over the following two days we took the eight Mahayana precepts and then engaged in three sessions each day of the sadhana Drop of Essential Nectar.
Everyone was welcome to join this precious retreat held at this blessed place. By making extensive offerings, praises and prostrations to Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, participants accumulated great merit, purified vast negativity and deepened their experience of love, compassion and bodhichitta.
At KMC Mexico, this precious practice helped purify negativities and open the heart, reminding participants that real transformation begins from within.
We celebrated Buddha’s Enlightenment Day with Nyungnay purification retreat and a beautiful Offering to the Spiritual Guide puja giving thanks to Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
It was a very special and meaningful day. We rejoiced in the virtuous actions we accumulated and dedicated all our merit so that all living beings may quickly attain enlightenment.
Every year in April, the community of KMC Cuernavaca gather to engage in the purification retreat, Nyungnay.
Over two days, Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Nampur guided the sessions of chanted prayers and prostrations, helping participants purify negativities.
Today is a special day in our Kadampa calendar. It is the Summer Festival 2026 ordination ceremony and the Temple is filled with the international community of ordained Sangha and 9 new ordainees who are receiving ordination from Gen-la Khyenrab.
