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.
Here we share the talk Venerable Geshe-la gave at the end of the live presentation in 2009 – a precious teaching we will never tire of hearing.
Every time we take part in an International Festival we are reminded of the immense kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche from whom everything meaningful arises.
From the very depths of our hearts we thank you Venerable Geshe-la. You are in every respect the source of all joy.
