German National Festival in November 2024
Nov 14, 2024
This year the Dharma Festival for the three countries: Switzerland, Italy and Austria, offers the special opportunity to receive the blessing empowerment of Protector Buddha, Dorje Shugden and teachings on how to draw close to him using the special sadhana Wishfulfilling Jewel.
In 2018 when Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso established Kadampa Meditation Centre in Aberdeen there was a vision that the centre would serve as a hub for the whole of the North of Scotland.
KMC Malaga, IKRC Menorca, KMC Barcelona and KMC Madrid have all hosted retreats following the Summer Festival. See the galleries to visit Spanish post-festival week.
KMC Tharpaland, KMC Deauchen, Tara IKRC, and Madhyamaka KMC have all hosted retreats on the practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini following the International Kadampa Summer Festival 2023.
At the Fall Festival 2023, which will be held October 6-12 at the Kadampa Temple for World Peace in Málaga Spain, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, will grant the empowerment of Medicine Buddha and give teachings on the eleven reversals.

This year, the Mother Centre of NKT-IKBU, Manjushri KMC, has been undergoing significant renovation work. This includes replacing the old sandstone in specific areas of the building, renovating the NKT office, painting, and transforming the main reception area. Additionally, a new extension for the World Peace Café has been built.
The students of the International Teacher Training Programme are setting forth on their next adventure to help Kadam Dharma to flourish in many different ways doing whatever is needed.
We have all settled in to festival life now and the atmosphere is relaxed with a steady rhythm of spiritual practice, volunteer work and spending time with Sangha friends or quietly contemplating the teachings.
During the Festival the Social Media team created some fun videos that captured the essence of the Festival. In case you missed them, here they are a few gathered together for you to watch.
