The Bliss of Concentration

Apr 18 - 21, 2025

Snow day

Deepening our Meditation on the Clarity of the Mind

Our ability to remain mindful and focused on peaceful, positive states of mind is essential to a happy life. And of course developing a strong and stable experience of concentration is fundamental to the development of the higher spiritual realizations that constitute our path to enlightenment. This is made clear in The Oral Instructions of Mahamudra where the first of the five stages of training in Mahamudra, our quick path to enlightenment, is training in concentration, specifically on the clarity of the mind.

These days in our overstimulated and distracted society people struggle to develop stable mindfulness and concentration. And even among spiritual practitioners many feel that attaining higher levels of concentration is not possible. Due to this discouragement many no longer emphasize actively training in improving their concentration, known as training in tranquil abiding.

In this Easter course we will explore the clear instructions Geshe Kelsang has given us to deepen our meditation on the clarity of the mind. The emphasis will be on applying these instructions in practice in meditation. By taking our time and building up our practice on the correct basis we will discover for ourself how clear and practical these instructions are and how in fact we can make real headway in our development of joyful concentration. We will see how our own perfectionism and grasping at results is getting in the way of our deeply enjoying our meditation and through that making real progress.

The meditation on the nature of the mind is seen as the best object for improving our concentration. The emphasis in the course will be in giving everyone practical experience of the wonderful qualities of this object, whatever your level of practice is, so that everyone increases their confidence in being able to progress through the mental abidings, in particular becoming confident in our ability to attain the fourth mental abiding that Geshe Kelsang so encourages us to attain.

Because we will also train in maintaining mindfulness of the mind during the meditation break we will be exploring how this meditation sets up for the realizations of Emptiness and the bliss of Highest Yoga Tantra. The skill we develop through training in concentration on this object, can then be easily applied to all our other meditations. Everyone welcome.

Christmas Course - The Gift of Peace and Relaxation

Dec 24 - 28, 2024

Manjushri KMC - ROBI7358

'If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.' Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche  How to Transform Your Life

If our mind becomes peaceful then a peaceful world will appear to us, and with peaceful thoughts comes both mental and physical relaxation. If we practise meditating on Buddha’s instructions we can find not only a temporary peaceful mind, but eventually give ourself the gift of a permanent
experience of peace. This is the most meaningful gift for ourself, and for all those we care about.

During this Christmas Course in the beautiful relaxing environment of the Temple for World Peace and grounds, you will receive teachings on love, compassion and wisdom, and be guided in meditations that help you to find your own inner peace. You will also be shown how to use these instructions to deal with difficult situations and still retain a peaceful mind. You will come to realize that by following Buddha's teachings you can gradually become your best self – having the wisdom and spiritual energy to benefit others

The Power of Prayer & Special Prayers for World Peace

Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2025

MKMC Gen-la Dekyong Special Weekend Image

~ understanding the power of prayer & special Prayers for World Peace
with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
February 28 – March 2 2025

We see so many problems in the world nowadays, with people experiencing great difficulties. We often wonder what we as Buddhists should do to help with these problems? Ven Geshe-la’s advice is that our job is to pray, as this is the best method to benefit others.

On this course we will learn the nature of prayer, how to make our prayers powerful and effective, and how to unite prayer with our busy daily life. One of the highlights of the weekend will be engaging in special Prayers for World Peace together with a great assembly of practitioners in the Kadampa Temple for World Peace. Powerful results will definitely come from performing together these non-deceptive beneficial actions.

March 2 – 4 Retreat with Gen Kelsang Ananda, National Spiritual Director of Germany, Slovenia, Romania & Czech Republic and Resident Teacher of Tharpaland KMC and KMC Berlin in Germany.

Avalokiteshvara For MKMC 2024-25 2024-05_for-KI

Buddha Avalokiteshvara empowerment & teachings on Essential Insights into the practice of Avalokiteshvara.

with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
November 29 – December 1 2024

This special course will be based on the precious instructions from the book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Empowered by the blessings and oral commentary that she received directly from Ven Geshela in Granada, Gen-la Dekyong will guide us to extract the most profound meanings of Venerable Geshe-la’s heart instruction ~ how to train in purifying and transforming the six classes of living being. This is a very blessed instruction that comes from the Ganden Emanation Scripture.

Understanding that unbearable suffering pervades the entire world, and with deep compassion for all living beings, we will learn how to cause Avalokiteshvara to abide at our heart, and gain great confidence to quickly attain the Union of Avalokiteshvara.
