From September 20th to 22nd, Gen Ananda, NKT National Spiritual Director for Germany and the Resident Teacher of Tharpaland KMC in Berlin, was the special guest Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Austria in Vienna. He taught a wonderful and practical course called “How We Can Really Enjoy Our Life – The Kadampa Way of Life”.

September 22 marks the celebration of Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day, a special occasion for Buddhists around the world. On this day, many engage in meditation, prayers, and teachings to honor Buddha’s return.

Coming together in different ways allows us to build strong connections and enhance the community spirit at Kadampa centers. Recently, two centers – KMC Montreal and KMC Chile – engaged in successful community activities that also contributed to the International Temples Project, which is dedicated to creating places of peace around the globe.
