French and Nordic Dharma Celebrations 2024
Dec 10, 2024
In recent weeks, some centers have held very blessed events deepening the students’ connection with Guru Buddha. Here are KMC Hong Kong, KMC Manchester and Atisha KMC in Darlington.
During the last few weeks, Bodhisattva KBC in Canberra (Australia) and KMC Southampton in the south of England organized prominent events, where people had the opportunity to enjoy a perceptible inner peace.
Recent guest Teacher visits took place at KMC Spain, KMC Quebec, and Vajrapani KBC in Xalapa, Mexico. Participants had the opportunity to engage in retreats on the three principal aspects of the path, explore methods for managing anxiety, and learn practical approaches to overcoming anger.
Wonderful retreats took place in the last couple of weeks around the world. Kadampa centers in Hong Kong, Ottawa, Querétaro, and Johannesburg offered the opportunity for dozens of students to come together, meditate, and retreat from the busyness of daily life.
On the last day of the International Fall Festival 2024, there will be a special opportunity to visit the new center in Rio de Janeiro. On Saturday, November 2, 2024, to celebrate the purchase of this center, Kadampas will come together for a tsog puja with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. Find out about this visit and Post-festival retreat in Rio.
This month magical and blessed empowerments were given at KMC Barcelona, KMC Dresden, Tushita KBC in Nantes and Marseille KBC.
The World Peace Temple in Cabreúva is undergoing a profound and inspiring transformation! Dedicated volunteers from various parts of Brazil and the world are already working tirelessly on essential tasks to prepare the site for the International Fall Festival (October 25th to November 1st), where we expect to welcome around 2,500 participants.
Blessing empowerments of Buddha Vajrapani took place in the last few weeks. Those who attended KMC Metz, KMC Montpellier and Odiyana KMC in Cheshire had a great opportunity to connect with this Deity to strengthen their spiritual power.
National Spiritual Directors traveled to give special courses at KMC Texas, KMC Merida, KMC Lille (France), and Avalokiteshvara KBC in Huelva.
Their teachings offered many wonderful and practical examples of how to practice Dharma in our daily lives.
The 21st of September saw the opening ceremony of KMC Girona’s new urban Temple on Ronda Ferran Puig, a relaxed area close to the train station, parks, and the city’s historical areas. This blessed ceremony was led by Gen Lochani, Resident Teacher of KMC Barcelona.
