At this year’s Southern Dharma Celebration, inspired by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Gen-la Khyenrab will grant the empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni. He will also give teachings on how to overcome the three poisons, ignorance, attachment and anger and find permanent inner peace.

Gen-la Khyenrab is the Deputy Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) and the Resident teacher at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre. Gen-la Khyenrab has practised Kadampa Buddhism since 1980 under the guidance of his Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. His teachings, humility and kindness exemplify the essence of the Buddhist way of life. All the proceeds from the UK Dharma Celebration go to the International Temples Project, a Buddhist charity building temples dedicated to World Peace in major cities across the globe.

Receiving the blessings of Buddha Shakyamuni will help us to develop the wisdom that we need in order to see where our suffering and problems are coming from. Buddha taught that all suffering comes from the three poisons and that by overcoming these inner enemies in our mind we will solve all our daily problems.
