Last week was a very special and inspiring time at KMC Guadalajara. On August 25 the name of the center appeared on the main entrance and on Sunday August 29 they opened our doors and started their in-person activities.
Two special events happening this weekend. Still time to book for both.
Last weekend Manjushri KMC took another step towards normal operations as it hosted a Summer Retreat that included residential accommodation. Entitled Permission to be Peaceful it was led by Gen Kelsang Sherab, Resident Teacher of Compassion KBC in the UK. It was a magical weekend and participants delighted in the beautiful weather and peaceful atmosphere. See the wonderful photos and reviews for this event below and check the brochure for events to come.
In keeping with many other Tharpa Offices around the world, Tharpa Spain is moving its operation to be near a major Kadampa Temple for World Peace. The move to KMC Spain is presently underway while its previous home KMC Madrid, looks for a larger property.
KMC Florida is marking 10 years since it was founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche – ten years of spreading inner and outer peace in the Sunshine State.
Starting September 12 there is an opportunity to study Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s precious book The Mirror of Dharma on the Special Teacher Training Program (STTP) with Gen-la Dekyong, who received the transmission of this book directly from Venerable Geshe-la himself.
Since hosting a powerful gathering for the Summer Festival, Madhyamaka KMC in the UK has been busy hosting a number of other inspiring events.
A team of volunteers recently worked hard to prepare the Urban Temple in the city of Málaga to reopen after a long period of closure due to Covid. This is followed by a week of FREE classes and activities to welcome everyone back.
Along with many other Kadampa centers, KMC London is preparing to open its doors again to the public after a break for the summer, and in many cases much longer. The community at the Temple in Morden have been busy preparing the Temple to welcome everyone back, including major renovation work on the entrances.
Thanks to the extraordinary blessings of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, the Wheel of Kadam Dharma never ceases in this world. Just as the Summer Festival finishes, a full program of National Festivals and Dharma Celebrations arises for September.
