International Festivals Presentation
Special event on New Kadampa Tradition Day
The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKT-IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang in 1991. The occasion is marked by special events and by pujas and dedications at Kadampa Centres worldwide. Prayers are made for the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world so that all living beings might quickly find permanent inner peace. Above all, we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in founding NKT-IKBU.
This year in particular, we are organizing a special event to emphasize the importance of the 3 NKT-IKBU International Festivals. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche inaugurated the annual International Kadampa Festivals to provide the international community with an opportunity to gather three times a year. He explained that these gatherings are essential for the growth and development of the International Kadampa Buddhist Union.
Join us on NKT Day for a special video, some inspiring talks, a session of Q&As and the opportunity to find or offer your services as a travel buddy. We will be concluding this special day with Offering to the Spiritual Guide Prayers. Everyone is welcome!
