Fall Festival 2024 ~ Day 4
Oct 29, 2024
What is the real meaning of our human life? It is to realise our very subtle mind. Then we will become a Buddha in this one life. Whether modern technology helps or harms depends on whether we have a good heart or not, but Tantric technology fulfils our deepest wishes.
Our main obstacles to enlightenment are ignorance and death. These can be overcome by practicing the instructions of Buddha Amitayus, which are now reaching every country and every nationality — something that has never happened before!
“There are so many firsts in this Festival, and there is so much we will receive. This is the most accessible Festival we have ever had.” With these words Gen Rabten introduced the Summer Festival 2020, whetting our appetite with a menu of delights that lie ahead over the next two weeks. Today is a special day.
Through the great kindness of our Founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, over 5,000 people from every corner of the globe will tune in Friday to take part in the 2020 International Summer Festival Online. As with all Kadampa events, everyone is welcome regardless of age, nationality or culture.
With the last two sessions of the retreat with Gen Loang today, the Spring Festival 2020 online comes to a close. Now it is time for us to take these precious teachings in our heart out into our daily life to benefit others.
By harnessing the power of modern technology we are now bringing Kadam Dharma directly into people’s homes. How wonderful!
There is not a single aspect of this Festival that has not arisen from the heart of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
After two sublime meditations with Gen Rabten yesterday, Gen-la Khyenrab granted the empowerment of Vajrapani, the Buddha of Spiritual power.
Last night, Genla Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, gave a truly inspiring introduction to this year’s online International Spring Festival, watched by over 5,500 people around the world.
Through the great kindness of our Founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, over 5,000 people from every corner of the globe will tune in today to take part in the very first online International Kadampa Festival.
