Emptiness: The True Nature of Reality with Gen Kelsang Tonglam
Fri 31 Oct – Tue 4 Nov | KMC Australia, Monbulk

Tomorrow we begin a special weekend course and silent retreat, an opportunity to embark upon and deepen our understanding that things do not exist outside of the mind but are just mere appearances, like dreams. This is Buddha’s most profound and transformative teaching; emptiness - the true nature of reality. With this knowledge, we can solve all our problems, find freedom from all limitations, and be of the greatest benefit to the world.

Gen Kelsang Tonglam is the National Spiritual Director of Kadampa Buddhism for East Asia, who has trained under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 30 years. He is renowned for his ability to present Buddha’s teachings in simple and practical ways, injecting a renewed enthusiasm and driving force in our ordinary life.

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for this very special event!

Bookings close today at 7.30pm! Everyone is welcome.

TODAY!

Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There
Half-Day Meditation Workshop | Brunswick
With Gen Kelsang Rabten

When problems arise, our instinct is to react - to fix, control, or push the discomfort away. But reacting without understanding often makes things worse.

Buddha taught a different way: to pause, observe, and allow wisdom to arise. When we create space between the problem and our response, we discover calm, clarity, and genuine peace.

Join us this morning to learn how inner stillness can transform even the most difficult situations.

📍 Balam Balam Place, 15 Phoenix St, Brunswick (Room 201)
