International Festivals
International Kadampa Festivals are special courses taught by the General Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU), Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, and the Deputy Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong.
The Festivals include teachings and empowerments from the Spiritual Director, reviews and meditations led by Senior NKT Teachers, chanted meditations and offering ceremonies, and retreats to consolidate and deepen your understanding and experience.
Open to everyone, these International Festivals are a wonderful opportunity to meet with Buddhist practitioners from all over the world and share experience and understanding with them.
