Exceptional weekends with National Spiritual Directors

We had a very meaningful weekend full of valuable teachings and meditations that we received from our precious National Spiritual Director Gen Kelsang Sangden. We were able to deepen our knowledge and experience of Buddha's advice, to have an increasingly peaceful mind, solve our problems and learn how it's possible to enjoy permanent and supreme inner peace for the benefit of all beings.

In the talk on How to Solve the Problem of Anger, Gen Sangden taught us that we get angry because we believe that anger is necessary in order to be happy and peaceful people.

In the retreat How does the world exist? How do I exist? she explained that we need a lot of familiarity with meditation on emptiness to reduce the deep-seated delusion of self-grasping that is the root of all other delusions such as attachment and hatred. The power of our delusions is nothing compared to the power of Buddha's wisdom advice that destroys these bad mental habits when we put it into practice. Our motivation for meditating on emptiness is to be able to benefit all beings.

Thank you to all the attendees, it was very nice to have you present. And thank you very much to each of the volunteers who before, during and after the event did a wonderful job showing the Kadampa way of life.

We look forward to seeing you soon at our next events!
