Kadam Dharma in Africa

After a long period of closure due to Covid, the three Kadampa centers in South Africa are beginning to open their doors and welcome back the public. But as you will see they did not waste the time they were closed.

This weekend Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang led the South Africa Dharma Celebration, granting the empowerment and teachings on Buddha Vajrasattva. Here is some feedback from the fortunate ones who attended in-person and online.

This weekend the students from the three main centers in South Africa will gather online and at their centers to enjoy the South African Dharma Celebration with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang. During the DC, entitled ‘Realize Your Ture Potential’, Gen-la will grant the empowerment of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification.

As we have seen in previous posts, Kadam Dharma is touching the hearts of many people in South Africa through the work of the Kadampa centers in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

Tushita KMC in Cape Town has been giving meditation classes at COSAT High School in Khayelitsha since 2013, and some of the students also attend classes at the centre.
