Please scroll down to see the menu.
The meaning of non-dual appearance and emptiness is very profound and not easy to understand. The wisdom that realizes non dual appearance and emptiness is a higher level of the correct view of emptiness, and training in this wisdom is the quick
path to enlightenment.
Following Je Tsongkhapa's teachings from the Ganden Emanation Scripture, which are the nature of the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri, Gen-la Khyenrab will today share some special insights from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. The wisdom realizing this union is the correct view of emptiness, which is Buddha's ultimate view.
After this short morning course we can join the Annual Christmas Dinner to celebrate another wonderful year of events at Tara IKRC in 2025.
Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab is a retired General Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition - International Kadampa Buddhist Union, National Spiritual Director of Canada, and the Resident Teacher at Tara IKRC in Derbyshire.
He is deeply respected throughout the Kadampa world as a sincere practitioner and powerful teacher. Following his Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, for over 40 years he has a wealth of experience to share with us.
This blessed space, Tara IKRC's new Meditation Hall inspired by the vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, where everyone is welcome to enjoy peace and tranquility, is opening in the autumn of 2025.
The new Meditation Hall will be open for everyone who wishes to practise meditation, engage in prayers, learn Buddha's teachings - the Dharma, or simply wishes to experience a moment of calm, have a break from the business of their daily activities, and forget all their worries and worldly concerns.
Everybody welcome!
