Celebrating compassion & wisdom in the UK

Among the many centers celebrating NKT Day over the weekend, here we feature two in the UK Nagarjuna Centre at Thornby Hall and Madhyamaka Centre in Yorkshire.

A special time for Kadampa centers worldwide

This weekend, many Kadampa centers around the world took advantage of the Easter holidays to offer special events. And with Saturday being NKT Day it was also an occasion for special pujas and celebrations. In this first post on the events of the weekend we feature the mother center, Manjushri KMC in the UK and IKRC Grand Canyon in the US.

Profound wisdom from KMC Edinburgh

KMC Edinburgh’s Manjushri empowerment this weekend may have taken place virtually, but for those attending, we gathered together in the space of emptiness and what a joyful place it was!

Special blessings, special dedication

This weekend, over 600 people tuned into the online weekend course at Manjushri KMC on refuge with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. On Saturday, in the Kadampa Temple for World Peace, Gen-la presided over a deeply inspiring and heartfelt Mahayana Refuge Ceremony, which was made all the more powerful by the fact that hundreds of people around the world shared in receiving the special blessings of refuge and making sincere dedications for the sake of all living beings.

Following the Truth

Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong will explain the meaning of Buddhist refuge and preside over an online Mahayana refuge ceremony from Manjushri KMC on February 26 – 28. This is a rare and precious opportunity to receive teachings from the General Spiritual Director on the very essence of the Buddhist path.
