A new urban Temple is being built next to the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla, Spain. The Temple will include a meditation hall of 132 sqm, a residential area, and a large shop and World Peace Café. Overall, the site covers 400 sqm. There are many ways in which we can help with this amazing project.
This month’s featured book is The New Meditation Handbook from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
“Everybody is welcome to participate in the next few days. And I would suggest we give ourselves a mission… to relax. Relax into this ocean of Buddha’s teachings, the Dharma. And enjoy, mixing our mind with these pure instructions. I would like to suggest that over the next couple of days, all of us listen carefully to these teachings and put them into practice purely and sincerely.”
Almost eight years after Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche granted the the empowerment of Great Mother Prajnaparamita to thousands of his students gathered in Portugal, the people of Portugal received it once again, this time, from their dear National Spiritual Director, Gen Kelsang Chokga.
Among the many developments since the last update, we now see the space being cleared and prepared to receive hundreds of visitors by car, bus and so forth.
Among the many auspicious events on June 4 – Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day – the gilders at the Kadampa Art Studio in the UK finished gilding the first of the four Dharma Wheels for the new Kadampa Temple for World Peace in Málaga, Spain. The Wheel is now crated ready for shipping to Spain.
Just in time for the 2021 US Festival in a few days time, the host center, KMC New York, just installed the collection of Buddha’s teachings, known as the ‘Kangyur’, in the Temple.
What a special moment it was, when Gen-la Khyenrab arrived at Tara IKRC last week as the special Guest Teacher to lead the post Spring Festival Retreat!
Tharpaland KMC just hosted an inspiring post Spring Festival retreat, led by Gen-la Kelsang Thubten. “It was fantastic to receive a very clear and practical presentation on such a profound and unique prayer. People from all over the world had the precious opportunity to attend this beautiful course, in person or online. Gen-la’s teachings were so blessed that everyone could understand and put them into practice.”
Recently, fortunate practitioners from all around the world, gathered to meditate on the profound teachings given by Gen-la Khyenrab during this year’s Spring Festival. Here we feature a few centers that hosted post-festival retreats.
