Treasury of Unobservable Compassion
Special Event
Nov 29 - Dec 1, 2024
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 Venerable Geshe-la 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.
This event will also be available via live streaming. As you will be joining a live event, sessions are only available at the scheduled time and will not be available afterwards. Since this is a national event, you must be a resident of the United Kingdom to attend online.
December 1 – 3 Retreat with Gen Kelsang Devi, Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Switzerland and Kailash International Retreat Centre.
