For spiritual practiitioners, going for refuge to the Three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha is the gateway for entering Buddhism. We recognize that we need help from the Three Jewels in order to make swift progress towards the real peace and happiness we seek. By going for refuge we can eventually accomplish full enlightenment and help others in the same way. 

This retreat is led by Kadam Noreen, Resident Teacher at KMC Austin. Everyone welcome

Je Tsongkhapa Day is celebrated annually on October 25. It is a special day in Kadampa Buddhism to remember the kindness and life of Je Tsongkhapa, a 14th-century Tibetan Buddhist master whose teachings presented by Our Founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, form the basis of the study programs and Dharma taught in modern Kadampa centers throughout the world.

Please join us for a special Offering to the Spiritual Guide and community talk to celebrate the development of our new space in the Mueller neighborhood.

Everyone welcome!

Buddha Shakyamuni’s prediction
about how Manjushri would later emanate as Je Tsongkhapa.
“After I pass away
And my pure doctrine is absent,
You will appear as an ordinary being, 
Performing the deeds of a Buddha
And establishing the Joyful Land, the great Protector,
In the Land of the Snows.”
Heart Jewel by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
