Jul 13, 2026
The Tharpa Festival Shop is an essential part of the International Summer Festival 2026 at Manjushri KMC, offering everything you need to support your spiritual practice during the Festival and beyond. It’s an opportunity to purchase all Festival-related Tharpa items— including books, art, and sadhanas—alongside new and updated releases.
In this post we share information about all the retreats taking place at centers worldwide, offering students an opportunity to deepen their experience of the teachings from the Summer Festival 2026
Kadampa communities recently enjoyed inspiring family and community events, including children’s meditation activities, a joyful Dharma Kids program in Brazil, and a summer BBQ at Tharpaland KMC. Through meditation, friendship, and shared experiences, participants of all ages strengthened their connection to Dharma while cultivating kindness, inner peace, and harmonious community.
From profound retreats and practical teachings to joyful family gatherings, these inspiring events from around the world show how Kadam Dharma helps people cultivate inner peace, wisdom, compassion, and lasting happiness.
The month of June marked a very special milestone for the development of Kadam Dharma in Venezuela. Although KMC Venezuela is still in its early stages, its first activities were filled with joy, enthusiasm, and countless blessings.
Work continues at a steady pace, consolidating each phase of the project with visible progress across all areas of the site.
Continuing the 40 year celebrations at Madhyamaka KMC, UK NSD Kadam Bridget Heyes taught a special weekend course called Supreme Inner Peace, while at KMC Cuernavaca in Mexico Gen Nampur gave a public talk called The Internal Enemy of Anger.
Sunshine, nature, meditation, and good company came together in a series of special events across Europe, Africa, and North America.
Across Spain, Brazil, Germany, and Mexico, practitioners gathered to receive the special blessings of Medicine Buddha, Green Tara, and Vajrapani.
In just a few days building will commence on the 7th Kadampa Temple at KMC France
