As Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says, 'Wherever we look, we find only the kindness of others.'

This week, we see this stream of human kindness flowing before our very eyes as an army of unsung heroes removes the last physical traces of the 2019 Summer Festival.

A fresh team of 30 volunteers from all over the world has arrived on site to help. For the most part, these are people who did not attend the Festival but who nevertheless make the Festival possible.

And then there are all the contractors who provide the infrastructure - the marquees, portable bathrooms, catering equipment, and much more.

So much hard work! So much kindness! So much to rejoice in!

A big thank you to everyone who made these magical two weeks possible.
