with Gen Kelsang Dorje, Resident Teacher KMC Madison
How is it possible to have fulfilling relationships? When we learn how to love more purely without expectations. In order to love in this way, we need clear methods and understanding of how love solves our problems of jealousy, anger and hatred. When we use the timeless methods from Buddha’s teachings, our relationship with others gradually becomes more fulfilling, and our deepest wish to be happy is experienced through our love for others.
“We have discovered an inexhaustible fountain of happiness within our own mind – our love for others. ” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
This retreat will be using the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. It's not required to have this book, but some people like to have them on hand during the event or read more afterward. You can purchase books in our Bookstore & Shop.
