Friday, June 3rd: Special Talk with Gen Wangpo
In this talk, Gen Wangpo will share the experience of being at Manjushri KMC and seeing Venerable Geshe-la’s vision unfold. By looking at the life and deeds of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, we can rejoice and develop strong faith in our Spiritual Guide.

Saturday, June 4th: Offering of Our Faith Retreat
Every day we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, our Root Guru and Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, but on this auspicious day, with minds of rejoicing and gratitude, we will offer him our faith through using the special prayer Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from his Faithful Disciples and collecting our Guru’s name mantra in a one-day retreat.

There will be three sessions of retreat using the sadhana The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra and the special request prayer. In the evening, the retreat will conclude with Offering to the Spiritual Guide for long life.
