“For someone whose main wish is to achieve the spiritual realizations of love, compassion, bodhichitta and great enlightenment, living beings are more precious than a universe filled with diamonds or even wish-granting jewels. Why is this? It is because living beings help that person to develop love and compassion and to fulfil his or her wish for enlightenment, which is something that a whole universe filled with jewels could never do.”

Excerpt From
The New Eight Steps to Happiness
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

We are delighted by the wonderful response to this special retreat. At this time, all retreat registrations have been filled and tickets are no longer available. Please contact KMCC to be added to the waitlist.

We look forward to a meaningful weekend as Sangha from Barrie’s Jampa Ling KBC and Toronto’s KMCC come together to explore the profound teachings on emptiness with Gen Kelsang Chodor and Kelsang Rigma.

Thank you to everyone who registered. We hope those unable to attend will be able to join us at a future event.

“There is no greater method for experiencing peace of mind and happiness than to understand and meditate on emptiness.”
