On April 6, more than two hundred people attended the grand opening of a brand new custom built center for Kadampa Meditation Centre México, with General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong.

"For almost 30 years since Kadam Dharma first appeared in México, thousands of people have benefited from the teachings, example and public service of the Mexican Kadampa practitioners.

"With a majestic meditation room, beautiful gardens and a World Peace Café ready to serve everyone who enters this sacred place, the new building for KMC México is a place of delight, peace and happiness for all beings."

"In a brief teaching prior to the Wishfulfilling Jewel prayers, Gen-la Dekyong encouraged us to reinforce our intention to serve others, accepting any difficulties with a happy mind and using them to achieve true Dharma realizations and help others as much as we can. We need to follow, she told us, the humble example of our own Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

"The future of urban temples is now a present with this Kadampa meditation center where everyone is welcome.

"With our mind empowered by the blessings of our Spiritual Guide, we can achieve anything."
