Gen-la Dekyong graciously accepted Canada’s invitation to teach and grant the empowerment of Buddha Maitreya, the Buddha of loving-kindness. Gen-la gave heart-felt advice on how to identify the obstacles in our mind that prevent us from loving, or even liking others! Everyone appreciated Gen-la’s warm and inspired teaching.

A big highlight for Kalpa Bhadra was the tsog offerings. Tsog refers to a gathering of spiritual practitioners. We offer prayers together with an elaborate arrangement of food offerings. Kalpa Bhadra had the special opportunity to purchase and arrange the food.
