General Spiritual Director
German National Festival 2024
Dec 11, 2024
Three countries, three festivals, one Teacher
The original plan for this year was for Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of NKT, to tour Kadampa centers in various South American countries and grant empowerment and teachings at National Festivals.
Due to the corona-19 restrictions this has not been possible and so Gen-la will record the empowerments and teachings from the Temple for World Peace at Manjushri KMC, which will then be broadcast in Brasil, Argentina and Chile.
Each of the three countries is organising its own Festival with meditations led by their National Spiritual Director.
