November 14th

Public Talk: Be Your Own Protector

Let’s celebrate 30 years of flourishing Kadam Dharma in the San Francisco Bay Area, November 13th and 14th! Everybody welcome.

If you’ve lived in San Francisco for a while, you know how much the city, the Bay Area, and it’s people are always changing. People come and go, as do the businesses and restaurants lining our streets. So, it's pretty amazing to think that Kadam Dharma has been a constant presence here for 30 years!  

To celebrate, we are culminating our Year of the Bodhisattva with a very special weekend with a very special Teacher. Gen-la Jampa is flying out from the International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon to grant us the Bodhisattva Vows, give us special teachings, and celebrate with us!

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. We are very grateful he will be with us in San Francisco

Everybody is welcome to join in.
