The Blessing Empowerment of Manjushri and
Teachings on Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life
with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong

August 28 - September 1

Everyone Welcome

You are warmly invited to the second annual Northwest Dharma Celebration at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington, established as as KMC by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso this year. We are so happy that Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, our National Spiritual Director, will join us here again, inspiring us to make our lives more and more meaningful, and guiding us in a powerful spiritual direction to develop unmistaken wisdom.

We are delighted to share the beauty of this Temple, and the exquisite Kadampa statues inside with everyone. Located in the charming Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, it is the perfect place to meet with our spiritual family and spend the Labor Day weekend together absorbing these profound teachings and enjoying the Sangha community.

It is Venerable Geshe-la's wish that Kadampa Buddhist Temples dedicated to inner and outer peace will appear to help people in every major city in the world. We become a part of this compassionate vision simply by attending. All proceeds from this Celebration will be donated to the International Temples Project.
