Fall Festival 2024 ~ Day 4
Oct 29, 2024
The 2022 South African Dharma Celebration, The Power of the Truth was held recently in Johannesburg.
June 4 is Dharmachakra Day on which we celebrate Buddha’s first teaching in this world – the first Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. It is also the birthday of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the Founder of NKT.
“Every day we carry out many beneficial tasks to prepare the new facilities of KMC Spain for the hundreds of people from many parts of the world who will arrive at the new Kadampa Temple in Malaga.”
In the next few days, all the artwork in the Temple will be completed and all the holy objects installed in the shrine.
Booking for online attendance at the 2022 International Summer Festival is now open. You can book now on the booking page on the Festival website.
This Saturday, June 4, is Dharmachakra Day, on which we celebrate Buddha’s turning the Wheel of Dharma in this world. This extremely auspicious day is also the birthday of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who is 91 this year.
The experience of an International Festival is greatly enhanced if we can spend some time afterwards in retreat improving our understanding of the teachings and taking their meaning to heart.
Our doors are always open at KMC Barcelona, but to publicize our local activities, we held a special open day in our commercial space last weekend.
Last weekend, Gen Kelsang Tonglam, National Spiritual Director for East Asia, granted the blessing empowerment of Dorje Shugden at the East Asian Dharma Celebration. Kelsang Dachog guided the meditations and Kadam Dianna guided the retreat.
After a long break, live Festivals once again return to Manjushri KMC! The International Summer Festival 2022 will take place there July 29 – August 13.
