Spring Festival 2026 Day 2
May 24, 2026
Many blessings as Kadampa centers in Europe hold ceremonies and empowerments.
This weekend at Manjushri KMC, we saw the beginning of a series of public talks with our General Spiritual Director that will continue across various cities in the US and UK.
Today the booking opens for the International Spring Festival 2025. Get ready to book your place for this beautiful Spring Festival focussing on loving kindness. This is the perfect event for those new to Kadampa Festivals.
Retreats away from the city allow those living in big cities to step away from the usual hustle and bustle, disconnect, and create the space for Dharma to deeply touch their hearts.
Two National Festivals are taking place in March. These special events are a cherished opportunity to break from our daily problems and recharge spiritually, as well as creating causes for Dharma to grow in our countries. KMC Durban in South Africa is hosting the South African National Festival on 20 – 23 March, while KMC Stockholm, in Sweden, is hosting the Nordic National Festival on 28 – 31 March 2025.
