Based on teachings from the 2024 International Summer Festival at Manjushri KMC, Gen Kelsang Lingpur will guide us through the meditations that will help take the teachings of Summer Festival deep into our heart and deepen our faith, wisdom, and compassion. These meditations will also deepen our experience of preventing obstacles in daily life based on teachings given by Buddha Shakyamuni.

For those who attended the Summer Festival and want to deepen their experience of the festival teachings and for those new to the practice of Great Mother Prajnaparamita interested in learning more about the practice, this is a great opportunity to gain familiarity with the practice. This retreat is open to everyone.

We are delighted to have Gen Kelsang Lingpur visiting from Arizona to guide this retreat!
