As the time quickly approaches when the external adornments will be placed on the Kadampa Temple for World Peace under construction in Málaga, Spain, we see the vajra base upon which will stand the crowning vajra being gold-leafed.
With finishing work on the exterior and interior preparing for the adornments, prepping the ribs of the lantern and the vajra base for gold leafing, filling a statue for the Temple shrine and much more, the project has made great progress since the last update.
On Sunday 27th June we joyfully celebrated the Summer Fayre in Madhyamaka KMC, in Pocklington (York) with the presence of thousands of people.
KMC Barcelona recently hosted the Northern Dharma Celebration 2021, with Guen Kelsang Chokga, the National Spiritual Director for Spain and Portugal streaming the empowerment and teachings from KMC Spain in Málaga.

A new urban Temple is being built next to the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla, Spain. The Temple will include a meditation hall of 132 sqm, a residential area, and a large shop and World Peace Café. Overall, the site covers 400 sqm. There are many ways in which we can help with this amazing project.
Almost eight years after Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche granted the the empowerment of Great Mother Prajnaparamita to thousands of his students gathered in Portugal, the people of Portugal received it once again, this time, from their dear National Spiritual Director, Gen Kelsang Chokga.
Among the many developments since the last update, we now see the space being cleared and prepared to receive hundreds of visitors by car, bus and so forth.
Tharpaland KMC just hosted an inspiring post Spring Festival retreat, led by Gen-la Kelsang Thubten. “It was fantastic to receive a very clear and practical presentation on such a profound and unique prayer. People from all over the world had the precious opportunity to attend this beautiful course, in person or online. Gen-la’s teachings were so blessed that everyone could understand and put them into practice.”
