The collection of qualified Kadampa statues is growing each year. During this International Kadampa Summer Festival, many practitioners will be able to bring home new statues of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in metal, Prajnaparamita, and Amitayus. How wonderful!

A perfect preparation for the International Summer Festival
Renovations at the new building for KMC Rio have started and things are moving quickly. Kadampa practitioners from our international community are arriving soon to help with the work, because there is a lot to do before it is ready to become a place of refuge in Rio.

At the end of June, wonderful talks with guest Teachers were organized at several NKT Kadampa Centers. Buddhist monks visited Uma KMC in the UK, KMC Trois-Rivières in Canada, and KMC Metz in France. These talks, focusing on the preciousness of our human life and the concept of impermanence, guided participants to a better understanding of Buddhist wisdom.
