News from the post Fall Festival retreats

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 International Summer Festival 2021 will be presented by the two most senior Teachers in NKT – Gen-la Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director, and Gen-la Jampa, the Deputy Spiritual Director. In addition, there will be six other Teachers helping to present the Festival:
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.

As the time quickly approaches when the external adornments will be placed on the Kadampa Temple for World Peace under construction in Málaga, Spain, we see the vajra base upon which will stand the crowning vajra being gold-leafed.
Enjoy this review of the first week of the Intensive Teacher Training Program as Resident Teachers from Kadampa centers worldwide gather at Manjushri KMC and other locations around the world for three weeks of intensive in-service training with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
This month’s featured book is Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully, which provides inspiring guidelines for helping us to live a happy and meaningful life, come to terms with our own death in a positive way and help others who are dying.
With finishing work on the exterior and interior preparing for the adornments, prepping the ribs of the lantern and the vajra base for gold leafing, filling a statue for the Temple shrine and much more, the project has made great progress since the last update.
Bookings for the 2021 Summer Festival are coming in thick and fast. Book now to join thousands of people around the world at this special online event. This event is now online only.
