What's on in January 2020
Through the great kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, modern Kadampa Buddhism is flourishing throughout the world.
For many Kadampa centers, January is a time for retreat. Here we list some of the retreats and other special events scheduled for January 2020.
This is just a selection. In addition, throughout January there are literally hundreds of courses scheduled at individual centers from weekend and day courses to regular weekly classes.
For detailed information on events in your area contact your local center.
