Spring International Festival

Buddha Amitayus Empowerment
Join the Spring International Festival online to receive the empowerment of Buddha Amitayus and the special blessings from the Buddha of long life, wisdom and merit.
The Festival can be followed online from the comfort of your own home, or, if you have booked for the online Festival, you can join us at Tushita KMC to follow it together with other like-minded people
The Spring International Festival gives us the opportunity to receive the empowerment of Amitayus. Through this empowerment we will receive the special blessings of Amitayus, the Buddha of long life, wisdom and merit. Then, based on Eight Verses of Training the Mind, Gen-la Khyenrab will explain how we can transform all the problems and difficulties of our daily life into opportunities for developing authentic love and compassion, and for finding true and lasting happiness.
'If everyone were to practise cherishing others, many of the major problems of the world would be solved in a few years.'
