Gen Kelsang Demo visits Indiana
Gen Kelsang Demo, Midwestern US National Spiritual Director, made her annual visit to Indiana for the weekend. She started her visit with a talk called Building Self Confidence followed by a community dinner at KMC Bloomington on Friday night. Using Venerable Geshe-la's book How to Understand the Mind, Gen Demo focused on cultivating real confidence versus an inflated view of ourself.
On Saturday, we held our first public talk in Indianapolis, at Indiana State Museum. Gen Demo explored the healing power of meditation with many new people coming to the talk as well as support from Kadampas traveling from Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan. She guided three meditations and everyone went for it! We felt the healing power of meditation through our collective effort.
On Sunday, she "blessed" KMC Indianapolis’ new throne by giving a talk from it called Creating Harmony with Others. Gen Demo’s inspiring talk and guided meditations were received with gratitude by the Midwest community in person as well as by participants online from Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
We deeply appreciate Gen Kelsang Demo and her beautiful example to guide us to integrate Kadam Dharma into daily life.
