French Festival 2023 with Gen-la Jampa
The power of love and compassion to heal the world
Friday 7 to Wednesday 12 April
Transmission of Buddha Avalokiteshvara’s Thousand-Armed Blessings:
A blessing transmission (or empowerment) is a ritual ceremony in which we receive special blessings from a Buddha.
Gen-la Jampa will teach on compassion and give commentary on the practice of Nyung’ne.
TEACHER:
Gen-la Jampa is an internationally renowned, ordained Buddhist teacher and the Deputy Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU).
As a senior NKT teacher, Gen-la Jampa has been a student of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for many years, and under Geshe-la’s guidance has taught at many centers and events around the world.
Gen-la is well-loved for his clear and inspiring teachings and his ability to touch people’s hearts through his sincerity and loving-kindness.
Geshe-la requested him to become the Resident Teacher at IKRC Grand Canyon, and we are very fortunate that he accepted.
