Recently at IKRC Kailash IRC Gen Devi, the Resident Teacher, guided a powerful 10-day retreat on Mahamudra Tantra. This was followed by a wonderful weekend course on Buddhist Art with Beat and Yolanda.
On October 8, Tara Day, Tara KBC in Granada, Spain became KMC Granada. The new center also has a new Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Dewang.
Just over a year ago, Daniel, a student at KMC New York, was requested to teach online to a group of people in Israel. Now he is living in Tel Aviv as the Teacher gathering many dedicated students.
In a sign that things are starting to return to normal, Kadampa centers around the world are organising special events to welcome members of the public to enjoy the center in informal settings such as ‘Food for thought’, ‘Sunday Out’ and ‘Open House’. These occasions give people an opportunity to see round the center, try some meditation and enjoy a specially prepared meal or a visit to the World Peace Café. Here we share some wonderful photos from four recent events at centers in Europe.
Today, Tara Day, as hundreds of Kadampas around the world engage in 24-hour Tara prayers, our thoughts naturally turn to the Fall Festival in two weeks time when Gen-la Dekyong will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Tara and teach a rare and precious practice in association with her.
The 2021 Fall Festival Online is being broadcast live from Manjushri KMC and then re-broadcast to various Festival hubs in different time zones around the world. And many of these hubs offer the chance to stay at the center and take part in a ‘mini festival’ in their Temple, listening, meditating and discussing with other like-minded people. Below are some of the Centers offering Festival Getaways. Which one will you choose?
The New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union is developing many Temples and Kadampa Meditation Centers internationally. There is a need for more skilled individuals to help with such projects, therefore the Kadampa Art Studio will be offering a six month Statue Production Training Course to develop a foundation of experience for Kadampas wishing to contribute to these auspicious projects.
It has been just two years since we enjoyed the 2019 Fall Festival in Arizona and celebrated the opening of the fifth Kadampa Temple for World Peace at IKRC International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon.
After each International Festival, Kadampa centers around the world organise post-Festival retreats providing an opportunity to spend some time improving our understanding of the teachings and taking their meaning to heart.
