“Everybody Welcome” is a heart message of all Kadampa Centers worldwide. These past few weeks, some centers have made an extra effort to organize special events for newcomers to get to know their local center. KMC Durban in South Africa, KMC Barcelona in Spain, and KMC Berlin in Germany opened their doors, inviting everybody to these special events.

Kadampa Centers worldwide organized blessing ceremonies for Buddha Maitreya, Green Tara, and Vajrasattva in the last few weeks. Participants at KMC Brooklyn in the US, KMC Merida in Mexico, Nagarjuna KMC Leicester in the UK, and KMC Metz in France enjoyed day or weekend events to connect with these enlightened Deities. 

From time to time when engaging in spiritual practice, we need special blessings that empower us to overcome our inner and outer obstacles and identify with our potential for enlightenment. As part of the spiritual program, Kadampa Centers around the world hold empowerments which can either open the door to a new spiritual practice or give us this special spiritual boost.
