Yesterday, after a beautiful Sunday GP class with Kelsang Zopa on universal compassion, our community had some precious time together and a special opportunity to collectively say thank you and farewell to our dear Admin Director, Kelsang Togden 💛

After dedicating so much time, energy, and kindness to our community, Togden is now embarking on a new adventure: opening a meditation centre in João Pessoa, Brazil 🇧🇷

We are deeply grateful for everything he has contributed to our centre and for the kindness, care, and joyful spirit he has shared with so many of us! We will certainly miss having him here in Toronto, but we are also so happy to see him take this next step and share Dharma with a new community.

Thank you, Togden 🙏 may this new centre flourish and may countless people benefit from your dedication to give Kadam Dharma 💛

Over the past two weeks, many of us from KMC Canada have had the joy of being part of the International Kadampa Summer Festival at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in England, our Mother Centre 🙏

More than 3,500 Kadampas from around the world came together to receive inspiring teachings and guided meditations, deepen our understanding of Venerable Geshe-la’s wisdom, and discover how to bring it into our modern lives.

This was also the first year that KMC Canada hosted a Summer Festival Adventure Tour, to support people attending their first Festival to travel together, experience the Festival as a community, and feel supported along the way! 🌍🚌

We’re returning to Toronto with grateful hearts and plenty of inspiration to bring back to our community 💛

And if you couldn’t join us in England this year, you can still feel connected! Over the next few weeks, we will be hosting events to continue contemplating and integrating the teachings from the Festival. Be sure to check our calendar for upcoming opportunities to join in.

May the inspiration and joy of this Festival continue to spread far beyond Manjushri ✨

🌿 A glimpse into our most recent retreat in Orilia 🌿

30 people gathered for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, sunshine, and a quiet space to turn inward 🙏

With guidance from Gen Chodor and Kelsang Rigma, we spent time meditating on Ultimate Truth and exploring the wisdom that helps us meet everyday challenges with a more peaceful mind

Thank you to everyone who shared this special weekend with us! ✨

We look forward to welcoming you to our next country retreat over Labour Day weekend at Five Oaks Retreat Centre in Paris, Ontario

☀️ Thank you to everyone who joined our Walk for World Peace on Sunday!

After keeping an eye on the weather all week, we decided on Sunday morning to switch to Plan B and walk in Little Italy. More than 60 people joined us for the day! A little rain wasn’t enough to stop us! ☔

The day began with a meditation 🧘, before some walkers headed to Christie Pits while others took the longer route to Trinity Bellwoods. There was plenty of conversation, meeting new people, and enjoying the chance to spend time together.

Back at the Meditation Centre, we shared a potluck meal and were treated to some unexpected music (swipe to the end for a glimpse 🎶💙)

We’re grateful to the more than 150 people who donated to the International Temples Project, which supports the development of temples and meditation centres dedicated to world peace around the world. Together, you helped us raise nearly twice our original fundraising goal! 🙏

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, volunteered, brought food, and helped make the day such a nice one!

🌸 A few moments from our Spring Course with Gen Delek on finding the source of true happiness. 🌸
Over the weekend, Gen Delek, Resident Teacher in Vancouver, touched our hearts with beautiful teachings on compassion, cherishing others, and how shifting our focus away from ourselves can bring a deeper sense of peace and happiness. 🌈🌻
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the meditations and conversations! May all living beings be happy and free from suffering 🙏

Everyone loves Sunday mornings here 🌞
A chance to slow down, connect with good people, and start the week with a peaceful mind.

No experience needed, everyone is welcome!
And yes, the complimentary refreshments and conversations afterwards are part of the tradition. ☕️💛
