The Australian Festival 2025
The 2025 NKT Australian Festival was held at KMC Australia an hour outside of Melbourne in the lush forest of the Dandenong Ranges.
At KMC Australia, we recently held the annual National Festival, bringing people together from across the continent. We were fortunate to receive the empowerment of Avalokiteshvara from Gen-la Dekyong, who shared profound insights into the Avalokiteshvara sadhana, as transmitted directly by Venerable Geshe-la.
We learned so many wonderful things. Just to mention a few: we discovered how to deeply relax with Dharma, how to train in contemplation so the instructions touch our heart, helping us put Dharma into practice, and we gained insights into Buddha's ultimate intention. The Festival was filled with inspiring teachings, guided meditations, sunshine, good company, and delicious food!
