~ 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.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.
