Summer Festival 2024 ~ Day 14

August 9, 2024

The peace of the Festival is indescribable. It feels so powerful to meditate as a great assembly of practitioners at the culmination of this Festival. Step by step, session by session, we have the experience of collectively holding our minds on pure objects. The Kadampa Temple becomes so quiet, even though we are a huge assembly of people. It is harmonious on a deep, subtle, heart level as we meditate together for long periods of time in silence.
