Midwest Dharma Celebration

The MWDC is a very special annual event that connects practitioners around the Midwest.

This relaxing weekend of practical teachings, guided meditations, and empowerment nourishes our spiritual life and increases our capacity for boundless inner peace.

A little snippet from Gen Demo’s last teaching of the celebration. About where the purpose or meaning of our life comes from 💛

The last round of pics - Day 3 of the Midwest Dharma Celebration...

Gen Demo finished giving commentary to the Liberating Prayer in two teaching sessions. The last concluded with the oral transmission of the Liberating Prayer by its author and our founder, the Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. So powerful and moving 🥲

We also got to bring the meaning of the Liberating Prayer deeper into our hearts with a morning meditation guided by Gen Dorje. And enjoyed LOTS of laughs, meaningful conversation and delicious cafe treats 😍

The main event of Day 2 of the Midwest Dharma Celebration was the empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni. Gen Demo guided a series of blissful meditations to energize, inspire and empower us to draw closer to Buddha and gradually become just like him ✨

Gen Dorje helped us prepare our minds for the empowerment with a skillfully guided meditation - reminding us to let go of whatever is holding us back, because temporary liberation from suffering is just not good enough! 😌

In the afternoon teaching session, Gen Demo gave commentary to the first 3 verses of the Liberating Prayer. She made the prayer feel so practical and accessible with relatable stories and crystal clear analogies ❤

In honor of NKT Day, Gen Zamling shared some of the many exciting dharma developments around the midwest, and we watched the latest NKT video. There was much rejoicing 😆👏

We closed out the day with Wishfulfilling Jewel puja. You could definitely feel the power of the midwest sangha coming together in this way 🙏

Stay tuned for more pics from Day 3...

We started the MWDC with a heartfelt teaching from Gen Chokyi, who talked about renunciation from a Buddhist perspective. In her teaching, Gen Chokyi discussed how temporary liberation is not good enough. What we and all other living beings need is permanent liberation from suffering. We can accomplish this through meditation and Buddha Shakyamuni’s powerful blessings.

Tomorrow we will partake in the blessed empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni with Gen Demo. Stay tuned for more pictures!
