Last week Kadampa Meditation Centre Monterrey celebrated their annual visit of National Spiritual Director, Gen Kelsang Sangden, with two precious events – a public talk at MARCO museum, an iconic venue in Monterrey city center and an urban retreat that culminated with a party for the 14th anniversary of the center.
Last night something very special happened in South Africa in the city of Durban…
“Gen-la Kunsang, after making the long journey and giving so much kind energy to helping us complete our beautiful new shrine, officially opened the new Urban Temple at Kadampa Meditation Centre Durban. Fortunate Kadampas from around the country joined in with the Durban Sangha for what was a very moving and powerful ceremony, particularly as everyone stood when the Buddhas were invited to enter and remain.”
