International Festivals
International Kadampa Festivals are special courses taught by the General Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU), Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, and the Deputy Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang.
The Festivals include teachings and blessing empowerments from the Spiritual Directors, meditations and retreats led by Senior NKT Teachers, to consolidate and deepen your understanding and experience, as well as chanted prayers and offering ceremonies.
