During his remarkable life, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche touched the hearts of countless people throughout the world. His wisdom, kindness and compassion are unequalled in these uncertain times. As we will see in coming articles, Venerable Geshe-la’s legacy is both extraordinary and world-changing.
On September 17 our most precious Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche showed the manner of passing peacefully into the clear light. Venerable Geshe-la requested that for auspiciousness at this time all Kadampa centers around the world engage in a short retreat using his special prayer, Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche from his Faithful Disciples.

On the final morning of the International Summer Festival 2022, everyone gathered in the Temple to watch the video presentation of the play of The Life of Buddha.
