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.
Kadampa centers are places of gathering and learning. Here we feature two recent weekend events at Kadampa centers in the UK.
With the warmer weather, some centers are arranging public events outside so local people can see and join in mediation.
Nearly 200 people attended this year’s Southwest Dharma Celebration at the IKRC Grand Canyon.
This year’s KMC Northern Ireland Dharma Celebration took place at the exquisitely beautiful Ards Friary in Donegal, with Kadam Bridget Heyes granting Manjushri Empowerment and fantastic teachings on the Ultimate Truth of Emptiness.
The two stupas for the shine in the Temple at Málaga were the last two major componenets completed at the Kadampa Art Studio at Manjushri KMC. They are already in Málaga waiting to be installed in the shrine.
