With the NKT Summer Festival focussing on following the path (Lamrim), how appropriate to post photos of the path between Ulverston and Manjushri! Thanks Kellie. Enjoy your journey.

The NKT-IKBU International Summer Festival currently taking place at Manjushri has attracted over 2000 onsite participants and as many online around the world. In his introduction, Gen Kelsang Rabten described this community of Dharma practitioners as a “Pure Land Bubble”. Whether you are taking part in Barrie, Collingwood, Meaford, or anywhere else in Ontario, Canada, or around the world, we hope the teachings inspire your practice and enhance your knowledge of Lamrim. How wonderful!

Inside Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre. Notice the blue in the background? At the 2000 Summer Festival, during the last teaching on Mahamudra Geshe Kelsang Gyatso posed the question, “How does blue develop?” Blue does not exist from its own side….(but) arises from its seed.

During the Summer Festival, our regular classes at Jampa Ling are paused while our teachers join practitioners from around the world to receive teachings and meditate together.

Your own practice doesn’t need to pause.

The Modern Buddhism App offers guided meditations, prayers, teachings, and inspiring podcasts—making it easy to stay connected with Dharma wherever your summer takes you.

Whether you have five minutes or an hour, it’s a wonderful way to keep your mind peaceful and your practice alive until classes resume.

Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful summer practice. 🙏

Jampa Ling KBC is closed from July 20 to August 12.

Equalizing self with others: “If we climb a mountain in the east we call it ‘this mountain’ and we call the mountain to the west ‘that mountain’; but if we climb down the eastern mountain and up the western mountain we then refer to the western mountain as ‘this mountain’ and to the eastern mountain as ‘that mountain’. ‘This’ and ‘that’ therefore depend upon our point of reference. This is also true of self and other. By climbing down the mountain of self it is possible to ascend the mountain of other, and thereby cherish others as much as we presently cherish ourself. We can do this by recognizing that from another person’s point of view it is he or she who is self while it is we who are other.”

Every Act of Kindness Makes a Difference
During our weekend retreat in Orillia, some of our Sangha had a joyful encounter with participants in the Mrs. Roper Treasure Chest Photo Challenge, raising funds for Mariposa House Hospice.
In Buddhism, we know that benefiting others is the heart of the path.
Whether through big or small actions, our kindness creates ripples of positive change.
