Nov 14, 2024
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.
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.
Some Kadampa centers organized open-air meditations in September, taking advantage of the good weather.
Here are KMC Argentina at an ecological reserve, KMC Montpellier on a walk and KMC Metz at an open forum.
The US Festival this year took place for the first time ever at the International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon in Arizona with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa.
Visiting teachers travelled to give courses at KMC Toulouse, KMC Cuernavaca and KMC Bilbao. They taught the path of compassion and wisdom, and how to lead a life of profound purpose.
During the first weeks of September in North America, four centers organized prominent public talks about emptiness, happiness, and well-being. Here we feature KMC-DC (Washington), Je Tsongkhapa KBC in Pachuca, KMC Ottawa’s visit to Quebec, and KMC Merida.
As they do every year after the Summer Festival, the Kadampa Temple for World Peace and the urban center in Malaga opened their doors for open days. These are special days when everyone can try Kadampa meditation and understand the function of Kadampa centers in the world.
Last weekend, the annual National Festival for Switzerland, Italy and Austria took place at Kailash International Retreat Centre with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
Over the weekend, more than 200 people from different parts of Spain gathered at KMC Barcelona for the Northern Dharma Celebration with the National Espiritual Director of Spain and Portugal, Gen Kelsang Choga.
Last weekend several Kadampa centers in Spain held a variety of courses. These were very beautiful and unifying events, showing the power of Sangha of teamwork.
