A Week of Inspiration, Community, and Inner Peace
Jul 18, 2026
Ten years ago on Je Tsongkhapa Day, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche opened the fourth Kadampa Temple for World Peace in Sintra, Portugal. The opening was followed by the Fall Festival 2013 held in Cascais, Portugal, which was attended by over 7,000 people.
In this joyful video the Resident Teacher and students of the Sintra Temple look back on the events of that year and the developments that have taken place since then.
Across the world, Kadampa Centers continue to create spaces where people can deepen their meditation practice, learn practical wisdom, and enjoy warm, welcoming community events.
