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.

Welcome to the Future

Kadampa centers around the world will be holding special events over the New Year and of course into the January retreat month. Among these, Heruka KMC in London has invited Gen-la Thubten to give a course over the New Year.

Special Offerings for the Holiday Season

Today, Christmas Eve, we share a beautiful video made by a Kadampa student and a gallery of inspiring photos taken by other Kadampas as an offering to Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Happy holidays everyone!

Special Puja in the Mother Temple

Last night, a community of Kadampa students gathered in the Mother Temple at Manjushri KMC for the first in-person puja since March. What a joyful and inspiring event it was!

A warm welcome at the Mother Center

Over the last few months, Manjushri KMC has been hard at work improving accommodation for visitors to the center, including 13 new and refurbished en-suite rooms in the main building, the Hayloft and the North Quadrangle. These developments and much more make this special place well worth a visit.

Drawing Close to the Dharma Protector at Tara IKRC

Last weekend, Gen Losang granted the blessing empowerment of Dorje Shugden at Tara International Kadampa Retreat Center. This was the center’s first event since becoming an International Retreat Center!

Tara IKRC ~ a wonderful new development

A wonderful new development. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has requested the centre to become an International Kadampa Retreat Center. The Resident Teacher, Gen Losang Kelsang, has many years of experience leading retreats. Stand by for more information.
