INSPIRATIONAL GIFTS AND RITUAL ESSENTIALS AT THE FESTIVAL Shop
Preparations are ongoing and international teams of Kadampas are working to build our Festival shops at Manjushri KMC. It is delightful to see our beautiful new and old products being unpacked and arranged for the Festival.
For the Summer Festival, both the Tharpa shop and the gift shop at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre have special items to help practitioners with their practice and offer beautiful gifts to take home.
Tharpa Shop getting ready
The Tharpa Festival Shop annually presents the latest editions of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's collected works in multiple languages, along with captivating artwork, inspiring posters, Buddha images, and sadhanas. This year Tharpa has produced new items including a collection of 14 inspiration cards on Atisha's advice.
Gift shop Preparations & Items
The Festival gift shop has some wonderful new additions this year, many themed around Arya Tara: a tiny Tara statue, sadhana covers, malas and wrist malas, jeweled trees and semiprecious stones.
There are also new NKT statues, Festival T-shirts, tote bags and hoodies, as well as ritual items such as malas and elegant offering bowls - all you need for your spiritual practice.
You will also find many gift items for your family and friends. There is something for everyone!
