The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of the NKT-IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in 1991.
The occasion is marked by special events, 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 in founding the NKT-IKBU and pray for him to remain with us for a very long time.
