On Sunday, Resident Teachers participating in the International Teacher Training Program took a break from their studies to contribute to the Summer Festival Preparations.
This year, from 26th July to 10th August 2024, Manjushri KMC is hosting the annual International Summer Festival. In preparation for this wonderful event hundreds of both local and international volunteers, as well as kind professional workers, are joyfully working together to make everything ready for Festival attendees.
Over the weekend, more than 200 people from different parts of Spain gathered at KMC Barcelona for the Northern Dharma Celebration with the National Espiritual Director of Spain and Portugal, Gen Kelsang Choga.
In October 2013, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche gave his last public teachings in Portugal. During these teachings, Geshe-la granted the empowerment of Great Mother Prajnaparamita and taught the Essence of Wisdom Sutra (Heart Sutra), which contains the heart essence of Buddha’s perfection of wisdom teachings.
Fall Festival early booking discount for in person booking ends soon.
Part of Venerable Geshe-la’s vision for the Summer Festival has always been that we end with the play The Life of Buddha. He requested that it always be shown to inspire modern day practitioners to follow in Buddha’s footsteps.
First time at a Festival? Volunteering is a great way to feel at home. During this year’s Spring Festival some people at their first International Festival talked about their experience of volunteering.
We’re excited to announce that this year, you can receive the Summer Festival teachings and empowerment sessions via livestream with simultaneous translation available in 6 languages!
Don’t miss out on this enriching spiritual experience! Early bird discounts for booking end on June 17th, so secure your spot today and embark on a spiritual journey to explore the profound teachings and find greater inner peace.
This year, a group of 54 students from KMC Hong Kong enthusiastically participated in the annual International Spring Festival given at Manjushri KMC. The Festival goers have generously shared their photos and personal experiences with us as a source of inspiration and joy.
