NKT Day 2026
Rejoicing In Our
Guru's Kindness

The first Saturday of April is NKT Day — a time to celebrate the extraordinary kindness of our Spiritual Guide and Founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, who in 1991 founded the New Kadampa Tradition. We can take this opportunity to reflect on and rejoice in the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world.

Venerable Geshe-la appeared with one pure and unwavering intention — to benefit the people of the modern world through spreading Kadam Dharma. Through his immeasurable kindness, profound wisdom and practical skill, he has given us everything we need to transform our lives and find the lasting happiness everyone longs for. He has given us his teachings, his books, his pure example, and the precious gift of the New Kadampa Tradition itself.

Out of his great compassion, understanding that everyone, everywhere, can benefit from Buddha's teachings regardless of nationality, culture, gender or age, Venerable Geshe-la has built a truly global spiritual family — united by a common goal, a shared path, and one pure dedication, to bring peace and happiness to our world.

Nourished by your blessings Venerable Geshe-la, may we continue your life's work together with one mind, one direction, one path and one dedication, benefiting everyone, everywhere, through the flourishing of Kadam Dharma.
From the depths of our hearts — thank you, Venerable Geshe-la.
