New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union
Founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
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
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.
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.
When you arrive at the Summer Festival, the first thing you notice is that you are among an international family of like-minded people
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.
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
The second day of retreat in the first week of the 2019 Summer Festival, and thoughts begin to turn to the chance to go deeper into retreat after the Festival
