At the end of the play there is a short teaching from Venerable Geshe-la, which he gave in 2009, sharing precious insights and advice. In this way Summer Festival teachings end in the presence of our Spiritual Guide, as we sit at his feet, once again hearing his words directly.

Then on Saturday morning we will conclude the Festival by coming together to make extensive offerings and requests to our Guru through the blessed practice of Offering to the Spiritual Guide. This is a wonderful opportunity for the world-wide Kadampa family to engage in one of our most important practices together, thanking our Founder for the teachings and blessings of the Summer Festival, and setting our intentions as we prepare to return home.
