An enthusiastic team of volunteers has assembled, the marquees are being erected and all over the site preparations for the 2019 Summer Festival are well underway.

We are just under three months away from the Fall Festival in Arizona! Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime experience to be at the opening of the 5th Kadampa Temple in the world and receive the empowerment of Avalokiteshvara the Buddha of Compassion and the oral transmission of The Mirror of Dharma with Additions.

The 2019 Summer Festival is fast approaching and an air of anticipation hangs over Manjushri KMC where the Festival will be held. To inspire you, here we share three 1 minute videos that capture the spirit of the Festival. Please enjoy.

At the Summer Festival 2019 the two Gen-la’s will give pass on the lineage of the Oral Instructions of Mahamudra and show how we can gain deep experience of these special practices in meditation. After the Festival there will be many opportunities to absorb into these practices at post-Festival retreats

The NKT International Festivals are the special method to maintain the International Kadampa Buddhist Union from generation to generation.

Deepening our conviction in the law of karma The Festival goers have departed, either to their homes or to one of the many post-Festival retreats organised by Kadampa centers around the world.
