Day 2 ~ Welcome home
Jul 26, 2026
Over 200 people are enjoying the post Summer Festival Retreat at Tara International Kadampa Retreat Centre this week, with 50 in-person and the remainder taking part online.
After months of careful restoration - repainting and gold leafing - the Buddha Shakyamuni statue was installed in the shrine for the retreat!
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.
