Last week in South America there were three blessed events that deepened students’ connection with Guru Buddha. The Colombian Dharma Celebration was hosted by KMC Colombia, the Bodhisattva Vow was given in the World Peace Temple at KMC Brazil, and a Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment at Wisdom KBC, Concepcion, Chile.

Retreating from our busy daily lives to relax, deepen our Dharma understanding, and enhance our meditation practice is a wonderful opportunity to make progress on our spiritual path. Recently, centers in sunny Florida, the mountainous suburbs of Madrid, and the peaceful English countryside provided environments for rejuvenating and meaningful breaks.

Two wonderful occasions to celebrate! Two centers hosted their official openings: Ganden Ling KMC in Cornwall, and KMC Nottingham, with its new building at Gedling House along with its 30th anniversary celebration.

Read about some other recent activities organized by Kadampa Centers around the world.
Here: KMC Durban, Tara KBC (Antofagasta, Chile), KMC Colombia, Nagarjuna KBC (Buenos Aires), KMC Dresden and Vajravarahi KMC (Preston).

Basking in sunflowers after the rainy monsoon season, the IKRC Grand Canyon looked this August even more welcoming. The community at the Fifth Temple for World Peace has been engaging in a variety of activities – from retreats and kids’ classes to rooftop refurbishment, community outreach, and new branch classes. There’s so much happening at our beloved Temple!
