Purification Retreats Around the World ~ Part 1
Apr 20, 2024
Previously we reported on a building development at KMC France where ten new chalets are under construction. Here is an update on their progress and a chance to hear from two of the workers about their experience:
Kadam Dharma is growing in the Rhine Valley in Germany, a major area that is home to more than 18 million people.
KMC Spain recently completed a brief Heruka Body Mandala retreat based on the blessed sadhana by Venaerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche called The Yoga of Buddha Heruka. Gen Chokga, Resident Teacher and National Spiritual Director, led the retreat in conjunction with teachings by Gen-la Thubten.
KMC Liverpool in the UK have been using the lockdown to redecorate and update the center, especially the Meditation Room.
In this update we see more extraordinary progress on the new Temple in Málaga, with the roof installed, the first stage of the Temple walls underway and great progress on the drainage system.
Through the kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, at the request of Dutch practitioners, Kadam Dharma has now reappeared online in the Netherlands.
A few more photos from Kadampa centers around the world greeting the new year with prayer and celebration. What could be more meaningful than starting the year with a good heart and sincere prayers for the happiness of all?
Wherever the Dharma of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche touches people’s hearts, joy arises naturally. Thank you Venerable Geshe-la.
KMC Barcelona recently completed a wonderful purification retreat with Gen Kelsang Rabten guiding sessions from the mother center, Manjushri KMC, and Gen Lochani guiding sessions from KMC Barcelona’s retreat center.
In the first of our reports on activities over the holiday period we include courses with Gen-la Kunsang in Tharpaland Germany and Gen Tabkay in IKRC Grand Canyon, US.
