Public Talk with gen gomlam in Fort collins
Western US National Spiritual Director and Resident Teacher at KMC Colorado
Gen Kelsang Gomlam gave a public talk entitled Beyond Fear in Fort Collins, Colorado, hosted by Heruka Kadampa Meditation Center Fort Collins at the local Bas Bleu Theater.
This was the second sold-out public talk hosted by the center in this venue within three years, following a visit from Gen-la Kelsang Jampa in 2024. Drawing from the preface of Modern Buddhism by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, Gen Gomlam used humor and practical examples to help the audience understand how wisdom and compassion can help us move beyond fear and anxiety.
After the talk, many guests purchased Dharma books and learned about upcoming events in Fort Collins and Denver. The evening concluded with refreshments and joyful conversations, giving everyone the opportunity to connect with new friends and continue sharing inspiration together.
Special Visit from Kelsang Damcho to KMC Guadalajara
Resident Teacher of KMC Monterrey
In May, KMC Guadalajara welcomed a special visit from Kelsang Damcho from Kadampa Meditation Center Monterrey.
During the public talk Being Happy Without Being Perfect, participants learned how true happiness arises from a peaceful mind, and how looking inward rather than constantly seeking externally allows us to discover a stable and lasting happiness within. Kelsang Damcho shared practical advice and encouraged everyone to appreciate the precious opportunity of this human life.
The following day, during the retreat The Joy of Concentration, he gently guided three meditation sessions in which participants explored the qualities of pure concentration and discovered how focusing on virtuous objects naturally brings joy to the mind.
It was a deeply inspiring weekend for everyone who attended. Heartfelt thanks were offered to Kelsang Damcho, the participants, and all the volunteers whose kindness and effort made this special event possible.
