Every year at a national level NKT organises National Festivals and Dharma Celebrations in various countries. The Festivals are usually taught by Gen-las and the Celebrations by the National Spiritual Director for that country.
Here are three Dharma Celebrations scheduled for the coming week:
Portugal Dharma Celebration

Teachings and empowerment of Arya Tara at Templo Budista de Sintra

Teachings on guarding the mind and Vajrapani empowerment at KMC Oslo
With Gen Kelsang Dragpa, National Spiritual Director of the Nordic Region
The temple is full of dedicated practitioners from around the world meditating in two final sessions on deepening our mind of compassion until it transforms into the compassion of a Buddha. In this way we awaken our Buddha nature - wishing to attain Enlightenment for all living beings.
