REQUEST TO HOLY SPIRITUAL GUIDE VENERABLE GESHE KELSANG GYATSO FROM HIS FAITHFUL DISCIPLES
Tuesday & Wednesday, September 20th & 21st @ KMC SF
On September 17 our most precious Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche showed the manner of passing peacefully into the clear light.
Venerable Geshe-la requested that for auspiciousness at this time all Kadampa centers around the world engage in a short retreat using his special prayer, Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche from his Faithful Disciples.
All classes & chanted prayers at KMC SF on Tuesday, September 20th and Wednesday, September 21st, will be canceled to engage in this special two-day retreat.
You who take on the great responsibility of caring in every way for the doctrine and migrators,
Giving to everyone equally, without discrimination, the precious opportunity to accomplish one’s own purpose and the purpose of others;
O Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka,
Please remain at my heart forever,
So that all directions will be pervaded by your matchless, excellent deeds.
