Ordination Day – Spring Festival 2026
May 20, 2026
As snow fell on the lakeland mountains around Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre, fortunate retreaters gathered to collect 100,000 name mantras of Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka.
Grateful to have the opportunity to step away from their busy lives and spend the entire month in Geshe-la's magical home, drawing close to him through this blessed auspicious practice.
They concluded the month of retreat with Vajradaka burning offering. Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong led a day of 4 sessions of this practice in which the retreaters engaged in powerful purification.
