Summer Festival 2024 ~ Day 4
In this morning's teaching we received a transmission of the Heart Sutra, being transported back not only ten years to Portugal in the presence of our Spiritual Guide, but in fact going back further to the time of Buddha...

We are following the path of wisdom and compassion and Venerable Geshe-la often talked about how we are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself. We see this so clearly at Festival time, with the interdependence of everyone attending and joining in, enabling the Festival to function.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to meet people. It can be a lot of fun as we get to cherish others, create amazing karma and feel part of something bigger than ourselves. Volunteering gives everyone the opportunity to join in! Sometimes we talk about Kadampas emphasizing three things: studying Dharma, meditating on Dharma and working for Dharma. How wonderful that we can do all three on our spiritual holiday, discovering the joy and spiritual energy that comes from combining these three into each day.
