Inner Peace, A Cause for World Peace
Manjushri KMC, the Mother Center of the NKT, welcomed hundreds of new people for a public talk with our General Spiritual Director Gen-la Kelsang Jampa.
Public Talk at Manjushri KMC
Public Talk, September 13.
Our Resident Teacher and NKT General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, gave an inspiring hour-long talk entitled Peace is Possible. Many people attended, including those who had never visited Manjushri KMC or attended a Buddhist teaching before.
The atmosphere was joyful and focused as Gen-la Jampa shared precious Dharma teachings from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's book How to Transform Your Life. For those new to Buddha’s teachings, he explored what meditation is, its benefits, and how to begin a simple meditation practice to develop our own inner peace. He explained how, as our mind becomes more peaceful, this naturally benefits our families, communities and workplaces.
We left feeling encouraged by the powerful connection between our own inner peace and world peace. Through training our mind in meditation and gradually developing greater peace within, we can contribute to the peace that is so greatly needed in our world.
It was a beautiful gathering in our Kadampa Temple for World Peace - a fitting place to remember that lasting peace begins within our own mind.
