Day 2 ~ Welcome home
Jul 26, 2026
The 2021 Summer Festival was remarkable in so many ways. It is as if we have experienced a modern miracle.
A global community of over 6,000 people came together virtually to enjoy the very essence of modern Kadam Dharma, including for the first time ever, the HIghest Yoga Tantra empowerments of Heruka and Vajrayogini transmitted online.
This precious Dharma emanated to the ten directions from the radiant moon of the mother center, Manjushri KMC. Thousands of people around the world were deeply touched by this extraordinary event.
Every aspect of this precious Festival, from the teachings and empowerments, to the precious Teachers, the Temples and centers, the global infrastructure that unites us and the very international Kadampa community all arose from the compassionate heart of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Venerable Geshe-la, we thank you deeply for this ocean of good fortune. Please remain with us until all living beings enjoy fortune as great as ours.
The first full day of the festival starts with a very peaceful morning meditation. The temple is full of happy campers and Kadampas enjoying the opportunity to meditate in a great assembly.
