The Healing Power of Compassion - Country Retreat

Over the last weekend of Easter, more than 50 practitioners of all levels gathered together to listen to and meditate on the great teachings of Buddha on how to develop the precious mind of compassion.

Our three experienced Kadampa teachers - Gen Kelsang Chodor, Gen Kelsang Kunden and Gen Kelsang Rabgye - skillfully guided the retreaters in deep contemplation and meditation. The atmosphere over the three days was light and peaceful, softened by the opened hearts of all in their internally growing experience of love and compassion.

Surrounded by beautiful nature and wildlife, we felt a beautiful sense of harmony and community in this cozy country hermitage.

Compassion is the mind that transforms into the enlightened mind of a Buddha. The healing that comes from compassion benefits ourself and all living beings.

How meaningful and wonderful this weekend has been for us all to create such positive energy together. Thank you to all participants, volunteers and the management of Five Oaks Retreat Centre for allowing us to enjoy such a blessed weekend!๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

This past weekend, the Canadian sangha from coast to coast joined together for a never seen before national intensive weekend of Teaching Skills at KMC Canada. With nearly 200 practitioners joining both in person and online through various time zones in the country, everyone was connected through the shared wish and dedication of seeing the Dharma of the Ganden Oral Lineage flourish in the country.

Amongst the participants were resident teachers, branch teachers, Teacher Training Program and Foundation Program practitioners and even those with a simple wish to learn more about teaching Dharma.

It was our precious good fortune to be led by three senior resident teachers of our Canadian centres; Gen Chodor, Gen Chogyan and Gen Thekchen. They had prepared nothing less than a vast banquet of profound and practical teachings all based on their many decades of experience as Dharma teachers. We are all very grateful for their kindness and devoted life in helping the flourishing of Dharma!

It is without saying that this most meaningful event has definitely created powerful causes and auspiciousness for the arising of many new qualified Kadampa teachers and the development and flourishing of Kadam Dharma in Canada and throughout the world. How wonderful! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅณ

Last weekend at KMCC, we had the joy and privilege to receive Kadam Morten who is the resident teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre New York City.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’—

On Friday night, he gave us wonderful teachings on love and desires. Then, the weekend was nothing less than an incredible feast of practical, inspiring teachings on the profound practice of Ta**ra, Buddhaโ€™s ultimate teachings.

We are all so grateful for Kadam Mortenโ€™s time and energy, transmitting us his great wealth of experience and understanding from his many years of sincere practice throughout this Valentines weekend!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’˜

A warm, sincere and heartfelt thank you to our kind teachers, volunteers and to everyone who attended and took part into this wonderful and meaningful weekend of celebrating Dharma in Ontario!๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™

A memorable event in which we all connected deeper with our compassionate nature and created a special relation and connection with 1000 armed Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of the compassion of all Buddhas.๐Ÿค

We are very fortunate and grateful to have had the chance to welcome Gen Samten to our Temple for this weekend. His deep and wise advise and inspiring example have deeply touched our hearts.

So much to rejoice in!โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

Learning how to find peace in the digital age!

Nearly 100 people gathered together at KMC Canada last night to receive a very inspiring talk by Gen Samten, our guest teacher for this weekend of the Ontario Dharma Celebration.

After many profound contemplations on our relation with technology and our modern devices, Gen Samten gave sincere encouragement for everyone to try and become more aware of what goes on in our mind and develop healthier habits of life with regards to our smartphones and else.

Tonight is the start of the Ontario Dharma Celebration! You can still book for this wonderful annual event here: kadampacelebrations.ca

Yesterday, while the city of Toronto and our beautiful Temple were being covered by the first snow of the season, KMCC was thrilling with activities from morning to night!โ„๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿค

The morning started with the 9:30am Prayers for World Peace, which are free for everyone to attend. Then at 11am, Gen Chodor gave an inspiring Sunday class to about 40 people on the Art of Meditation.๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Many people stayed after the class to enjoy refreshments and animated discussions downstairs!๐Ÿ˜Š

At 1pm, Jordana, a sincere and incredibly kind volunteer here at the Temple, gave a 2h long workshop on First Aid Training entitled โ€œCompassion in Actionโ€. This was the start of a series of very practical and empowering workshops on safety training. More to come so stay tuned for the next one!!

Then, from 3 to 7pm, the students of the Teacher Training Program had their usual Sunday classes which started with an extensive discussion on the profound subject of the practice of Exchanging Self with Others following the chapter on Concentration from Meaningful to Behold, the first book written by Venerable Geshe Kelsang.

A truly wonderful way to spend a snowy Sunday at KMC Canada!๐Ÿ˜โ„๏ธ

This past Saturday, Nov 1st, on International Temples day, we had a very inspiring โ€œTeam Building Workshopโ€ held at the Temple with 35 participants!

Titled โ€œJoin the Visionโ€, we focused on the precious words of Venerable Geshe-la:

โ€œWe work together with one mind, one direction, one path, one dedication.โ€

After watching the special 2025 ITP video in the meditation room, the managers continued by introducing some particular priorities related to the development of our Temple and community. Everyone then divided into smaller groups and each group discussed a particular priority, brainstorming thoughts and trying to come up with creative and practical ideas.

After this, each group chose a spokesperson who then presented their ideas, comments and propositions to everyone.

Filled with inspiration and great ideas, this beautiful afternoon really made us feel how we truly are working together with one mind, one direction, one path, one dedication!๐Ÿ™

A very warm and sincere thank you to everyone who joined in for this wonderful event!!๐Ÿ’–

A joyful evening began with a delicious potluck supper, as the sangha gathered together in full festive spirit, each person dressed for the occasion. No one arrived with a mundane mind! Alongside the usual skeletons, we had a turtle with a golden yoke, a delusions-eater, a chip-monk you could always count on, and one with special clarity-seeing glasses.

Under Gen Chodorโ€™s guidance, we reflected through meditation that, like actors in costume, we move through life contemplating its impermanence -and contemplating that the โ€œIโ€ we normally see does not truly exist.

The evening came to a close with a touching tribute to Kelsang Rigma, whose dedication and energy have greatly enriched our community. We send her our warmest wishes for continued inspiration and boundless energy in her work at Jampa Ling Centre in Barrie.
