There is so much that is special about this year’s Festival, and so much to look forward to. And because it is our first ever live online Festival there is great benefit in booking now.
The Intensive Teacher Training Program is called ‘intensive’ for a reason. For three weeks, the Teachers follow a rigorous 6-day a week schedule of teachings, teaching skills, discussion, memorisation and prayers. Venerable Geshe-la has designed this special program to give Resident Teachers from the centers around the world the opportunity to engage in intensive in-service training.
The development of the new Temple for World Peace in Málaga, Spain, depends upon the invaluable contribution made by volunteers helping out at the Kadampa Art Studio in the UK. There are always openings for people who want to join this team as a volunteer visitor.
After every International Festival, various Kadampa centers around the world organise post-festival retreats. As you can see from the list below, there are many opportunities after this year’s Summer Festival to engage in such retreats.
As the time quickly approaches when the external adornments will be placed on the Kadampa Temple for World Peace under construction in Málaga, Spain, we see the vajra base upon which will stand the crowning vajra being gold-leafed.
Enjoy this review of the first week of the Intensive Teacher Training Program as Resident Teachers from Kadampa centers worldwide gather at Manjushri KMC and other locations around the world for three weeks of intensive in-service training with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
With finishing work on the exterior and interior preparing for the adornments, prepping the ribs of the lantern and the vajra base for gold leafing, filling a statue for the Temple shrine and much more, the project has made great progress since the last update.
On Sunday 27th June we joyfully celebrated the Summer Fayre in Madhyamaka KMC, in Pocklington (York) with the presence of thousands of people.
230 Resident Teachers from over 40 centers around the world have gathered for the annual Intensive Teacher Training Program with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
Guen Sangden, the Resident Teacher, recently conferred the empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva at KMC Mexico. Enjoy some photos of this blissful event.
