Today, International Temples Day, we celebrate in particular the work of the ITP in making the precious books of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche available throughout the world.
Sunday, the eighth day of the month is Tara Day. On this day we recite Liberation from Sorrow, Prayers and Requests to the 21 Taras and deeply request the Blessed Mother to bestow her blessings on all living beings so that all sickness and other obstacles are quickly removed.
Today we feature two post Fall Festival retreats in Spain – one last week and one next weekend
This weekend the students from the three main centers in South Africa will gather online and at their centers to enjoy the South African Dharma Celebration with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang. During the DC, entitled ‘Realize Your Ture Potential’, Gen-la will grant the empowerment of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification.
Through the great kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyato Rinpoche, November offers another banquet of Kadam Dharma around the world with seven national/regional Dharma Celebrations given by the National Spiritual Directors.
The International Fall Festival has now finished but for thousands of people around the world, November offers an opportunity to enjoy National Festivals.
Today we received two pieces of good news from Tharpaland KMC in Germany – retreats and a Temple!
What an extraordinary day! The whole floor had to be laid in one uninterrupted session – 120 trucks of concrete, with everyone working late into the night!
January retreat season is fast approaching and today we begin a round up of upcoming retreats. Here we feature two six-week mountain retreats, one at IKRC Grand Canyon with Gen-la Jampa and one at Kailash IRC with Gen Devi.
Watch as the preparations are put in place for pouring the Temple floor, with masses of steel reinforcement being laid and bound together. Soon the trucks will come!
