Post Spring Festival retreats in Spain
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.
A Beautiful Post-Festival Retreat with Gen-la Jampa in Barcelona
A beautiful post-Festival retreat was held at KMC Barcelona following the International Spring Festival, with the General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Jampa.
The retreat, Inner Strength: How to Transform Daily Challenges, took place in the peaceful surroundings of Montserrat, offering the perfect opportunity to step away from busy daily life and put the Festival teachings into practice.
Through guided meditations on love and compassion, Gen-la Jampa showed how to maintain a peaceful heart when facing difficulties. With his characteristic clarity, warmth, and joyful energy, he emphasized that genuine inner strength comes from a flexible and compassionate mind.
The retreat was filled with gratitude, inspiration, and shared joy. Participants left with practical methods to integrate Dharma into daily life and deepen their experience of the Festival teachings.
INSPIRING POST-FESTIVAL RETREAT WITH GEN-LA KUNSANG AT KMC MADRID
With great joy, participants reflected on the precious teachings received during the Post-Festival Retreat with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang, retired Deputy Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition and a direct disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Among many profound insights, Gen-la reminded everyone that the quality of our life depends on the quality of our mind, and that cherishing others is the supreme method for finding happiness and solving our problems. By taking responsibility for our experiences and reducing self-cherishing, we can discover an inexhaustible source of inner peace, love, and compassion.
Participants felt deeply grateful for these precious teachings and for the immeasurable kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, whose wisdom continues to guide countless people through his teachings and through the example of qualified teachers such as Gen-la Kunsang.
May these teachings continue to inspire us to purify our mind, accumulate merit, and transform every moment of our life into a path to inner peace and the benefit of all living beings.
“The kindness of Venerable Geshe-la is beyond our understanding.”
