These days climatic and environmental hazards frequently present us with adverse conditions that might otherwise thwart our plans to benefit others. Here is the story of two Kadampa communities who were confronted with such conditions and who worked diligently to ensure the delivery of Dharma was maintained and protect the people who visit their centers.
People throughout New Zealand gathered at the four centers in New Zealand – Amitabha Centre, KMC Auckland, KMC Wellington and Kalpa Bhadra Centre in Christchurch – to enjoy the New Zealand Dharma Celebration online from Manjushri KMC this weekend.
After the Australian Festival at the beginning of the month, centers around Australia continue with their summer program. Here are a few highlights from Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania.
Last weekend the people of New Zealand enjoyed their National Festival online with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, Deputy Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. Here is their report.
Australians greeted the new year with their annual Festival at which Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, Deputy Spiritual Director of NKT gave the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri and teachings on dependent relationship.
At the Australian Festival January 1-6 2021, Gen-la Jampa will grant the empowerment of Wisdom Buddha Manjushri and give teachings on Dependent relationship.
This weekend KMC Perth took part in the local Perth Festival who organised a street party along 10km length of Highway. Thousands of people attended from different parts of Australia and the world to pay tribute to a local hero Bon Scott, the former lead singer of the ACDC who died 40 years ago.
As the last leg of his tour of Australasia, yesterday Gen-la Khyenrab, Retired Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, visited the beautiful center at KMC Brisbane to give a public talk:
The Choose Happiness Public Talk at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music yesterday drew smiles from a crowd of almost 380 people who came to hear Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, Retired General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU and National Spiritual Director of Canada.
After the Australian Festival, Gen-la Khyenrab travelled across the water for the New Zealand Festival.
How wonderful to receive the empowerment of Vajrasattva from such a pure Teacher and to hear teachings on removing obstacles and negative karma.
