KMC France Blessing Ceremony

France was blessed this week with the arrival of Venerable Geshe-la at the Chateau de Segrais, home of KMC France. Dedicated volunteers have been working for over eighteen months restoring the Chateau, completing this first phase of work on the very day Geshe-la arrived. Sixty people were fortunate enough to be present at the blessing ceremony which marks the official opening of our newest KMC. On Sunday the 26th of October Venerable Geshe-la presided over this special blessing ceremony at KMC France with a Wishfulfilling Jewel puja – heartfelt prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden.

From the Land of the Snows to the vast Plains of Africa

Last week Patti (mother of newly ordained Phuntsog, GP teacher and translator in Eshowe) and I visited an area which I had already visited about a year ago called Elamoya (east of Eshowe). Driving there in the truck, we picked up a number of people every few miles, all who were waiting along the road; people from various areas who remembered me from previous visits. Gloria, the lady in the blue T-shirt in the pictures, invited me to come and speak to her community. They so much loved the prayers and Dharma teachings – it was amazing how grateful they were.
