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.
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.
KMC Liverpool in the UK have been using the lockdown to redecorate and update the center, especially the Meditation Room.
Wherever the Dharma of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche touches people’s hearts, joy arises naturally. Thank you Venerable Geshe-la.

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.
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!
