Yesterday we enjoyed two extraordinary teachings by Gen-la Dekyong on essential Kadam Lamrim as transmitted to her by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. The teachings were so clear, so powerful, so inspiring. They touched the hearts of so many people around the world very deeply.
First we learned to listen well and thus create perfect inner conditions for the empowerment of Dorje Shugden. Then yesterday we received this extraordinary empowerment from Gen-la Dekyong. It was so clear, so accessible and so transforming!
Last night, Gen Thekchen opened the 2021 Summer Festival online with an inspiring introductory teaching setting the scene for this extraordinary event. And today, Gen-la Dekyong will grant the empowerment of Dorje Shugden. How wonderful!
Through the great kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the Founder of these Festivals, for the very first time the Summer Festival will be hosted and broadcast from multiple locations around the world simultaneously.
Although only a few people are able to attend the Festival directly at Manjushri KMC, many centers around the world will be holding ‘mini festivals’ open to the public, where you can safely watch a broadcast of the Festival, often with live translation, as well as join with the Kadampa family for meditations, discussion and much more. This is the first time an International Festival will be hosted at a number of different locations.
There is so much that is special about this year’s Festival, and so much to look forward to. And because it is our first ever live online Festival there is great benefit in booking now.
Here are a few more submissions that came too late for the actual Diaries. Beautiful stories from beautiful people around the world.
With the last two sessions of the retreat this morning, the 2021 Spring Festival comes to a close. This special sequence of introduction, empowerment, commentary and brief retreat designed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche is used at all International Festivals, making these events suitable for everyone, beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Gen-la has completed his commentary to the prayer, Request to the Lord of All Lineages, and today we begin a brief retreat with Gen Rabten to take the meaning of these precious teachings to heart.
Today, with our minds blessed by Buddha Shakyamuni, we begin to receive the commentary and transmission of the special prayer, Request to the Lord of All Lineages, by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Can there be greater meaning than this?
