Spring Festival 2026 Day 5
May 27, 2026
Sangha from across the country gathered at Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre for a truly uplifting weekend of blessings dedicated to overcoming fear and inner obstacles.
Kadam Bridget Heyes granted the White Tara empowerment and shared profoundly moving and powerful teachings. Throughout the weekend, we felt the compassionate presence of White Tara - the female Buddha of healing, long life, and fearless wisdom - guiding and inspiring us.
This April at Vajrapani KMC Huddersfield, we received our annual empowerment granted by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Varahi.
The blessings of White Tara increase our wisdom and merit and alleviate obstacles such as sickness. This transformative event was well attended and enjoyed by all. Working together as a community, we joyfully created and celebrated this special day.
Thank you to Venerable Geshe-la for this precious opportunity.
Kadampa Festivals always conclude with a short but powerful retreat on the teachings we have received. Gen-la Sangden guides us to clear objects of meditation, emphasising developing cherishing love and compassion.
