The International Fall Festival is organised by the New Kadampa Tradition - International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU). Registered charity 1015054.

The profits from this Festival support the activities of the International Temples Project (ITP), a global charitable project founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

The ITP aims to introduce the Buddhist faith and practice of the New Kadampa Tradition publicly, and to exemplify contemporary Buddhist practice through service to the public.

Its scope and activities are constantly evolving in response to the needs of the ever-changing demands of busy lives. It presently achieves its aim through developing and building traditional and non-traditional temples and meditation and retreat centres, and through the activities of World Peace Cafés and Tharpa Publications.

We hope that your online Fall Festival experience will be smooth, however we recognise that sometimes you may experience some problems.

This troubleshooting guide offers help for some of the most common issues. If you have further questions see the bottom of this section for further help options.
