Sharing Inspiration

People from around the world share what inspired them to book for the Festival . . .

City of Seven Wonders

With the 2019 Fall Festival just a few weeks away, many people will soon be traveling to Flagstaff Arizona, the site of the Festival Hotels. We thought you might enjoy a quick overview of the town:

The Festival dissolves

Just three weeks ago we watched as the 2019 Summer Festival appeared out of emptiness. Now the Festival is over, the people are gone and, like mist lifting, everything begins to dissolve back into emptiness . . .

Festival wrap

The Festival concluded today with a presentation of the Story of Atisha. This was a public rehearsal of a play that will be presented at the Fall Festival in Arizona. Another reason to be there!

The source of all the great good fortune we have enjoyed

As the Festival draws to a close, we focus especially on the source of all the great good fortune we have enjoyed during the last two weeks – the sublime, compassionate intention in the mind of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

Mixing Kadam Dharma with our heart

With just a couple of days remaining naturally thoughts turn to returning home and how to keep the magic of the Festival alive in our hearts when we return to the the realities of daily life.

A Festival run on kindness & a Temple built on kindness

Today we celebrate the great kindness of others, and especially the kindness of all the volunteers working to help Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s extraordinary vision become a reality.
