Although thousands of people are gathered together, and this is in itself a wonderful part of the occasion to be with so many sincere practitioners, Festival is not all busyness. There is time for stillness, contemplation and meditation both in session and in quiet moments around the grounds.

Festival is always hugely transforming; it enables us to let go of our normal life and its endless busyness and to focus on our inner spiritual life. As this inner world comes to life in the blessed environment here at Manjushri Centre, we find our sense of who we are and the real meaning of changing our life.

We are able not only to give energy and time to our spiritual growth but many people feel that the spiritual path literally opens up for them during festivals.

We are so grateful to our Spiritual Guide and Founder for this incredible opportunity.
