Last week in South America there were three blessed events that deepened students’ connection with Guru Buddha. The Colombian Dharma Celebration was hosted by KMC Colombia, the Bodhisattva Vow was given in the World Peace Temple at KMC Brazil, and a Buddha Shakyamuni empowerment at Wisdom KBC, Concepcion, Chile.
Manjushri KMC in UK and KMC Monterrey in Mexico both hosted well-attended public talks. These events focused on finding peace from within and introduced locals to the valuable resources offered by their local Kadampa centers.
Retreating from our busy daily lives to relax, deepen our Dharma understanding, and enhance our meditation practice is a wonderful opportunity to make progress on our spiritual path. Recently, centers in sunny Florida, the mountainous suburbs of Madrid, and the peaceful English countryside provided environments for rejuvenating and meaningful breaks.
As they do every year after the Summer Festival, the Kadampa Temple for World Peace and the urban center in Malaga opened their doors for open days. These are special days when everyone can try Kadampa meditation and understand the function of Kadampa centers in the world.
Recently the blessing empowerment of Arya Tara was given at centers in different parts of the world. It is wonderful to think that Buddha Tara’s blessings are reaching people everywhere, transforming the minds of living beings.
Last weekend, the annual National Festival for Switzerland, Italy and Austria took place at Kailash International Retreat Centre with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
This month, some centers have organized inspiring public talks, allowing others to connect with wonderful Dharma teachings. KMC Barcelona, Sukhavati KBC in Querétaro and Mahamudra KBC in Uruguay are featured here.
Two wonderful occasions to celebrate! Two centers hosted their official openings: Ganden Ling KMC in Cornwall, and KMC Nottingham, with its new building at Gedling House along with its 30th anniversary celebration.
Over the weekend, there was a variety of vibrant courses held by Kadampa centres throughout the US. The courses taught wisdom and love giving people peace of mind and energy to live a meaningful life.
