Making time for retreat
May 13, 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.
Kadampa communities in the US and Europe make time to share short spiritual holidays together and take Dharma deeper into their hearts.
