At the Fall Festival 2026 in Malaga, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa. She will also explain how to develop and improve our faith in our Spiritual Guide seen as one with Je Tsongkhapa, and on the practice of Migtsema, the special mantra and prayer of praise and request to Je Tsongkhapa.

On this short post-festival retreat, Gen Kelsang Norden will guide us through the main meditations of the Heart Jewel practice, allowing us to contemplate and meditate on the meaning of the teachings we have just received at the festival and focusing on the Migtsema prayer.
