Preparations nearly complete – Summer Festival 2026
Jul 22, 2026
This weekend, Kadampas around the world celebrated Buddha's Enlightenment Day with joyful gatherings and devoted practice.
Nyungnay retreats to purify negative karma, teachings, empowerments and courses, vegetarian feasts, and activities for young people were just some of the ways practitioners marked the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrating the attainment of enlightenment.
This is a day when we celebrate our own innate potential to become enlightened, and rejoice in Buddha's great kindness in showing us a path we can follow.
Behind the scenes, every corner of the Mother Centre is alive with joyful activity as everyone prepares to welcome visitors with warmth and care. All areas are working at full capacity, filled with a spirit of dedication and cheerful effort.
