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.

The books of Modern Kadampa Buddhism

Throughout the Festival site we see people absorbed in Venerable Geshe-la’s books, reading memorising, discussing. It could be said that they are the very lifeline of the Festival.

The Protector of Modern Kadampa Buddhism

Dorje Shugden is an enlightened being, the same nature as Je Tsongkhapa himself, and that Je Tsongkhapa has manifested this precious Dharma Protector to protect the lineage of Kadam Dharma and prolong its presence in our world
