Kadam Dharma in UK

On Monday, the new building for  KMC Plymouth officially opened its doors to the public. The building, previously a bank, was acquired last year and during the lockdown period a team of Kadampas worked tirelessly to convert it into a modern Kadampa city Temple.

KMC Glasgow closed it’s doors on March 16 to protect our community and to support the governments message of ‘Stay Safe and Stay Home’. Within 4 days of closing our centre, something quite extraordinary manifested . . .

With the first phase of re-opening of Manjushri KMC successfully completed – the Temple, cafe, shop and grounds once again open to the public and live classes and meditations once again taking place in the Temple – attention now turns to the next phase – an extended programme of in-person and online courses.

On a beautiful late summer’s day, the Temple at Manjushri KMC once again opened its doors for an in-person course, welcoming visitors from all directions.

Gen-la Khyenrab has now returned to Canada and will begin an exciting program of classes at KMC Canada in the coming days. And most of the ITTP students have now departed Manjushri KMC to take up their new responsibilities around the world. As he left, one of the students, Jorge, who was headed for Chile, shared this beautiful photographic diary of his six months at the mother centre.

The Special Teacher Training Programme at Manjushri KMC with Gen-la Dekyong recommences September 6 with a new book, The Oral Instructions of the Mahamudra. You can enrol to attend the live teachings in the Temple or participate remotely by correspondence.

The UK Dharma Celebration is a special course on Buddhism and meditation that explains how to apply Buddha’s teachings (Dharma) to modern living. Taught by the National Spiritual Director of the UK Kadam Bridget Heyes, the Celebration is a holiday with a difference – giving you a chance to break free from the hectic routines of daily life and focus on the things that really matter.

Tomorrow, Monday July 20, visitors will again be welcomed to the Temple, Cafe, Shop and grounds. After being closed to the public for months due to the covid-19 outbreak, Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre is now beginning to re-open.

Experience this year’s Summer Festival in the exquisite surroundings of Nagarjuna Centre at the beautiful Thornby Hall. Quiet, safe and restful conditions to watch the Festival online and meditate in peace.
