SUMMARY:NKT-IKBU International Fall Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:Great Protector of the Guru’s Words\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is nothing more precious than the words of our Spiritual Guide. This festival begins with the empowerment of Dorje Shugden as a powerful protection and blessing\, so that we can understand the deep meanings of all the teachings of Sutra and Tantra that we have received from our Founder\, and so we can care for them\, ensuring they remain vibrant\, alive and functioning for many generations to come. With a life of dedication\, Gen-la Dekyong pays particularly close attention to our Guru’s words. \nGen-la will share special advice that she has personally directly received from Venerable Geshe-la on how for our mind and the meaning of the teachings to become one\, requires our Guru’s blessings. She will also share how we can deepen our understanding of our Guru’s speech continually\, and how through this\, we ourselves can come to hold his ultimate correct views and intentions and attain the enlightened state of our Guru. \n

SUMMARY:Keeping Cool When Things Get Hot: A Public Talk
DESCRIPTION:Even though we have a good heart certain people\, and certain situations\, seem to trigger feelings of anger and blame. When anger takes over its easy to do and say things that are difficult to take back. Using Buddha’s skillful teachings and meditations on recognizing and overcoming anger\, however\, we can learn to stay cool headed even when things are getting hot. By remaining calm in this way we can learn to replace our anger with peace and eventually even love. \nThis public talk will be at Fogartyville \n525 Kumquat Ct \nSarasota Fl. 34236
