We can remember the extraordinary love and kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, our Root Guru and the Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition every day. However, June 4th is an auspicious day during which we can generate minds of rejoicing and gratitude and offer him our faith by reciting the special prayer Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from His Faithful Disciples and by collecting our Guru’s name mantra in a one-day retreat.
There will be three sessions of retreat using the sadhana The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra and the special request prayer. In the evening, the retreat will conclude with Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers.
