Spring Festival 2026 Day 1
May 22, 2026
'Imagine being able to heal yourself and others from internal and external diseases!
'In the place where the construction of the 6th Kadampa Temple for World Peace will begin very soon, our beloved Resident Teacher and National Spiritual Director of Spain and Portugal, Gen Kelsang Chokga, transmitted the powerful blessing empowerment of Medicine Buddha.'
"Gen Chokga showed us very skilfully how to put these blessed instructions into practice and in this way live a happy, modern life.
"We were greatly inspired when she mentioned that Gueshe -la himself healed many people through the power of this extraordinary practice.
"Venerable Gueshe-la said that through this practice he was able to help many people in the past and he realised that it was very special and very powerful."
The sun is shining and it's a delightfully warm English spring day. All day people stream in to Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in the Lake District - on coaches, in cars, by foot and in taxis. As new arrivals head to registration and get oriented, simultaneously preparations continue for the Festival to run smoothly in
