About this event

Every day we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, our Root Guru and Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition. But on this auspicious day at the beginning of June, for Venerable Geshe-la’s birthday, at Kadampa centers around the world, with minds of rejoicing and gratitude, we offer him our faith through using the special prayer Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from his Faithful Disciples and collecting our Guru’s name mantra in a one-day retreat. Everyone is welcome to take part.

At Je Tsongkhapa KBC, Kadam Sharon will give a brief introduction in the first session, and there will be two sessions of retreat using the sadhana The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra and the special request prayer. In the afternoon, the retreat will conclude with a special Offering to the Spiritual Guide tsog offering puja.
