Solving our Daily Problems with Loving Kindness
Buddha Maitreya is the manifestation of all the Buddhas’ realisation of loving kindness. This festival is a unique opportunity to concentrate on understanding and practising the precious instructions given by Venerable Geshe-la on how to develop the three types of love. We will also learn how we ourselves can quickly become a Buddha of Loving Kindness by changing our basis of imputation through Tantric practice.
Through engaging in the festival programme of teachings, meditations and retreat, we can radically transform our own lives and thereby the lives of others, and truly heal our suffering world.”When we love all living beings, we have no enemies.”
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
