Geelong Public Talk with Gen Kelsang Rabten
Wed 14 May | Geelong
We are alive, therefore we will die. This is the simplest, most obvious truth, yet few of us have come to terms with this fact.
Once we do, we’ll find the energy to use our life in a meaningful way, and to help others through this very natural process.
Be guided through Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully, and learn to:
• Make each day meaningful
• Become free from trivial worries and concerns
• Help others who are grieving
• Support those who are dying with a peaceful death process.
Join us for this special public talk based on the book ‘Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully’, an invaluable handbook to help ourselves and others.

Offering Our Faith Retreat
Wed 4 June | KMC Australia (Dandenong Ranges)
On June 4th, Turning the Wheel of Dharma Day, we celebrate the deeds and great kindness of our root Guru & founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
As faithful modern Kadampa disciples we remember the great kindness of Venerable Geshe-la every day, 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 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’ dedicated to the flourishing of everything that Venerable Geshe-la established in our world.
This event is free of charge. There is a charge for lunch and dinner on Wednesday at KMCA.
