The January retreats at Manjushri KMC got underway last night when Gen Kelsang Rabten, National Spiritual Director for Australasia and South East Asia, introduced the first two weeks of the retreat to a packed Temple.
Last night the Temple at Manjushri KMC, the mother center of NKT-IKBU, was filled with fortunate ones celebrating the New Year in a deeply meaningful way with Gen-la Dekyong.
Manjushri KMC, the mother center of Modern Kadampa Buddhism, is alive with visitors and residents enjoying the Christmas course with Gen Togden entitled ‘A Good Heart Always Gives Good Results’. Watch the video and enjoy the photos – and see why people enjoy this event so much
January 2020 at Manjushri KMC will be a special time for retreat with four weeks of contemplation and meditation on Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s book Mirror of Dharma with Additions led by Gen-la Jampa and Gen Rabten.
Gen-la has concluded her extraordinary teachings at Manjushri KMC this weekend, and the students have settled into 2 days of retreat with Gen Nyingpo. We finish with another inspiring excerpt from Gen-la’s teachings in which she encourages us to understand and live according to the Kadampa family’s purpose – an exquisite teaching revealing a special union of wisdom and compassion.
Listening to Gen-la Dekyong’s teachings this weekend at Manjushri KMC it is easy to see how she is perfectly qualified to be the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. Her reliance upon her Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Keslang Gyatso Rinpoche, is exemplary, and because of this listening to her teach we feel as if we are listening to Venerable Geshe-la himself teaching through her.
Last night in a packed Temple for World Peace at Manjushri KMC, Gen-la Dekyong, General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, shared some priceless advice she received directly from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
This time of year Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, literally sparkles as the world famous Christmas markets open and visitors flock to the city to browse the stalls, dine in the restaurants and enjoy the fairground attractions. But last night, in the midst of the festivities, a quiet and peaceful space appeared . . .
This weekend, Gen-la Dekyong, General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, will give the transmission of a precious Kadampa text – one of the three condensed Lamrim texts that are the very heart of Modern Kadampa Buddhism.
For those fortunate enough to attend the course by Gen-la Dekyong at Manjushri KMC this coming weekend, Friday 29 – Dec 3, a special opportunity awaits them – the transmission blessing of one of the three core condensed Lamrim texts of our tradition.
