OPENINg CEREMONY AND SPECIAL BLESSINGS
IN LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND

The opening celebration weekend of the new KBC Samudra, in Lausanne, was an amazing and auspicious event! Over 60 people attended this happy occasion that was 15 years in the making. Gen Kelsang Devi, Resident Teacher of KMC Switzerland and IRC Kaïlash, granted the blessing empowerment of Je Tsongkhapa.

We started the weekend with a beautiful blessing ceremony with Gen Devi explaining the great purpose of our new KBC. The opening celebration continued with Wishfulfilling Jewel prayers with a vast tsog offering, and a special dedication for the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world. The evening ended with a community party, full of joy and gratitude.

The following day Gen Kelsang Devi granted the empowerment of Je Tsongkhapa. Her teachings provided valuable guidance and gave us confidence in the practice of Heart Jewel, helping us to have a successful meditation practice. Our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Jikgyob, led the morning meditation and a Heart Jewel retreat the following day.

Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate this unique and deeply meaningful event, to all the volunteers who made it possible, and to all the people who attended from all over Switzerland, France and Austria.

Most of all, thank you, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, for giving the Lausanne community the opportunity to transform our lives and the lives of others.
