SUMMARY:International Fall Festival
DESCRIPTION:For more information visit the International Fall Festival Website.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nOur Real Heart Jewel: Je Tsongkhapa Empowerment and Teachings on Faith in Guru Tsongkhapa and the Blessed Practice of the Migtsema Request Prayer with Retired General Spiritual Director Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong \nDuring the Fall Festival 2026\, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa. She will explain how to develop and improve our faith in our Spiritual Guide seen as one with Je Tsongkhapa\, and on the practice of Migtsema\, the special mantra and prayer of praise and request to Je Tsonghkapa. \nThe prayer is very blessed because it was originally uttered by Buddha Manjushri\, and comes from Manjushri’s emanation scripture\, which he transmitted directly to Je Tsongkhapa. Many of Je Tsonghkapa’s followers attained very high realizations through the practice of Migtsema combined with the Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa. The Migtsema practice is the best method for increasing our faith in Je Tsongkhapa and his teachings\, and if we practice Je Tsongkhapa’s teachings sincerely with faith\, we can attain enlightenment quickly and easily. \nOptions are available to attend either in person at the World Peace Temple\, Kadampa Meditation Center Spain in Malaga\, Spain or online. \n

SUMMARY:Meditations for a Meaningful Life
DESCRIPTION:The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment\, or “Lamrim”\, is a sophisticated\, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings\, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84\,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim\, which  are 21 essential meditations\, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then\, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple\, scientific\, and incredibly potent. \nThe Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings. \nIn this class\, we will go one-by-one through the Lamrim\, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective. \nJoin us afterwards for lunch in our World Peace Cafe! Lunch is available for purchase at check in and will be served after the class.
