Bringing the Festival to the Heart (Part 3)
In the past few days we have shared photos from centers around the world as they conclude their post-Summer Festival retreats. Here we share more from that time. Enjoy!

kadampa temple at KMC Deuachen with gen rigden
In the serene environment of the Kadampa Temple in Sintra, over 50 fortunate practitioners enjoyed a precious post-Summer Festival retreat focused on the practice of The Great Mother and the meditation on emptiness.
With the blessings of Buddha Prajnaparamita, we could almost hear the echo of Venerable Geshe-la's words in Cascais during the International Festival in 2013 when he transmitted the Essence of Wisdom Sutra to thousands of Kadampas from all over the world.
During the retreat, Gen Kelsang Rigden encouraged us to reflect on basic questions such as why we need to practice Buddha's teachings.
In these times, when clinging to the body, to our self and to other phenomena creates so much anxiety and stress, this retreat was like an oasis where we could rest our minds and deeply relax.
Thank you so much dear Geshe-la for your infinite kindness. May we become just like you!
