Annual Appeal 2024
As the calendar year comes to an end, we would like to express our genuine gratitude to the sangha members who continue to offer their energy, time and financial support to KCCL. The year 2024 has been one of further expanding our mahasangha cooperation, thus enabling successful and impactful developments for the Buddhist community.

“Creating a Solid Future”: KCCL Capital Campaign 2024
During the more than 3 years of running our center on Young Avenue in Halifax we have served the local sangha by providing classes, feast practice and daily meditation practice as well as hosting visiting teachers and renting out our Mahasangha space. It feels that we are now well established in Halifax and are looking to stabilizing our future.

Message by HH Karmapa on the occasion of the 90th birthday of HE Thrangu Rinpoche
On the occasion of our great spiritual friend Kyabje Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche turning ninety, I would like to express my prayer and aspiration that he may live a healthy life even longer than a mountain’s.
