Festivals are an international experience. As Geshe-la teaches us, they are the best method for maintaining our International Kadampa Buddhist Union. We are living, studying, meditating and working together as one society; having meetings together, learning from each other, being inspired by others; and feeling part of something bigger than our local centers.

Fall Festival 2024 ~ Day 8

November 2, 2024

Friday is an auspicious day. After a final meditation session practicing The Yoga of Buddha Heruka, there is a huge gathering in the Temple as it is opened to everyone to join in a truly global Prayers for World Peace. Many local people attend in addition to the international Festival participants, and it is simultaneously live-streamed around the world. How wonderful that thousands and thousands of people are praying together for peace in our world.

Today we take some time to appreciate what a rich tradition we have, the incredible lineage we hold, and the unsurpassed presentation we enjoy where all Buddha’s teachings fit with our modern life.
