Day 7 ~ A Festival of Faith, Gratitude and Kindness
It’s the final day of the Festival, which finishes with two calm and focused retreat sessions enabling us to consolidate all we have received at this rich feast of Dharma.
Read MoreAlthough only a few people are able to attend the Festival directly at Manjushri KMC, many centers around the world will be holding ‘mini festivals’ open to the public, where you can safely watch a broadcast of the Festival, often with live translation, as well as join with the Kadampa family for meditations, discussion and much more. This is the first time an International Festival will be hosted at a number of different locations.
The Festival Shop is now open. Here is a list of the books and prayers that will be used during the Summer Festival all of which can be purchased from the Festival Shop.
In this post we feature especially the group of US Teachers gathered at IKRC Grand Canyon, the largest group outside of Manjushri KMC. Some great photos, and two very inspiring videos they made!
There is so much that is special about this year’s Festival, and so much to look forward to. And because it is our first ever live online Festival there is great benefit in booking now.
The Intensive Teacher Training Program is called ‘intensive’ for a reason. For three weeks, the Teachers follow a rigorous 6-day a week schedule of teachings, teaching skills, discussion, memorisation and prayers. Venerable Geshe-la has designed this special program to give Resident Teachers from the centers around the world the opportunity to engage in intensive in-service training.
The development of the new Temple for World Peace in Málaga, Spain, depends upon the invaluable contribution made by volunteers helping out at the Kadampa Art Studio in the UK. There are always openings for people who want to join this team as a volunteer visitor.
After every International Festival, various Kadampa centers around the world organise post-festival retreats. As you can see from the list below, there are many opportunities after this year’s Summer Festival to engage in such retreats.
