Spring Festival 2026 Day 6
May 27, 2026
Mexican National Festival 2023
Following the spectacular opening ceremony of the breathtaking urban temple at Kadampa Meditation Center México hundreds of practitioners gathered for the Mexican National Festival.
Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU granted the blessing empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha, Je Tsongkhapa and gave teachings on the profound recognition of our Spiritual Guide as Guru Sumati Buddha Heruka.
"Filled with excitement and hope, we started the festival with the recitation of the prayer Request to the Lord of all Lineages and Gen-la Dekyong gave us profound teachings on how to follow in the steps of our Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
"As Buddhist practitioners, our job is to set a good example, to contemplate the Dharma in every activity we do, and to work towards the development of enlightenment in our own hearts."
Before the Festival started, many Kadampa monks and nuns had their Sojong ceremony at which they renewed their ordination vows.
