Continuing the Festival Journey in Spain and Portugal
Following the 2026 International Summer Festival, practitioners gathered at two beautiful Temples for World Peace in Spain and Portugal for special Post-Festival retreats.
Temples for World Peace
Keeping the Festival Inspiration Alive
In the peaceful atmosphere of these sacred places, and in the company of spiritual friends, practitioners had the precious opportunity to deepen their understanding, meditate on the teachings, and bring the inspiration of the Festival into their hearts.
The retreats were guided by visiting Teachers Kadam Morten Clausen and Gen Kelsang Lochani. From KMC Spain in Málaga to KMC Deuachen in Portugal, these retreats offered a meaningful space to transform precious Dharma teachings into living experience and carry the Festival’s inspiration forward.

Time for Contemplation & Meditation
Following the 2026 International Summer Festival at Manjushri KMC(opens in new tab), practitioners in Málaga had the precious opportunity to spend several days in retreat guided by Kadam Morten, deepening their understanding of the teachings and bringing them into their meditation and daily lives.
The Post-Festival retreat at KMC Spain(opens in new tab) offered a peaceful space to reflect, meditate, and continue familiarizing ourselves with Dharma, while enjoying the support and inspiration of spiritual friends.
It was a meaningful opportunity to keep the inspiration of the Festival alive in our hearts and transform it into practical experience.

A summer of Dharma
Deepening Your Practice
Our wholehearted thanks to our visiting Teacher, Gen Lochani, for her kind presence among us, sharing these precious teachings and guiding us through our Post-Summer Festival retreat here at KMC Deuachen(opens in new tab).
This beautiful Temple for World Peace in Portugal welcomed more than 40 participants from Portugal and Spain, who came together to deepen their practice and enjoy this special retreat during the cool, peaceful days of summer.
This retreat gave us the precious opportunity to deepen our experience and understanding of the Tantric practice The Yoga of Buddha Heruka, together.
Gen Lochani’s gentle and inspiring way of teaching this profound Dharma has given us the confidence to put these precious instructions into practice in our daily lives. Thank you so much!
