During the last few weeks, Bodhisattva KBC in Canberra (Australia) and KMC Southampton in the south of England organized prominent events, where people had the opportunity to enjoy a perceptible inner peace.
Recent guest Teacher visits took place at KMC Spain, KMC Quebec, and Vajrapani KBC in Xalapa, Mexico. Participants had the opportunity to engage in retreats on the three principal aspects of the path, explore methods for managing anxiety, and learn practical approaches to overcoming anger.
Wonderful retreats took place in the last couple of weeks around the world. Kadampa centers in Hong Kong, Ottawa, Querétaro, and Johannesburg offered the opportunity for dozens of students to come together, meditate, and retreat from the busyness of daily life.
National Spiritual Directors traveled to give special courses at KMC Texas, KMC Merida, KMC Lille (France), and Avalokiteshvara KBC in Huelva.
Their teachings offered many wonderful and practical examples of how to practice Dharma in our daily lives.
The Collected Works of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche is at the heart of all activities and practices in NKT centers around the world.
