Foundation Programs at Kadampa Centers around the world
Nov 15, 2024
25 years ago, during the Summer Festival 1997, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche opened the first Kadampa Temple for World Peace at Manjushri KMC.
The experience of an International Festival is greatly enhanced if we can spend some time afterwards in retreat improving our understanding of the teachings and taking their meaning to heart.
Last Saturday 260 people attended the Grand Opening of Kadampa Meditation Centre Leeds, with General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong.
KMC New York, KMC Austria and Nagarjuna KMC all recently hosted events for their local communities including a fun fair that attracted over 500 people and participating in the Town of Lumberland Fourth of July Parade at KMC New York, the sangha of KMC Austria participating in the Freihausviertel District Festival and the annual Summer Fete for World Peace at KMC Nagarjuna.
Summer Festival 2022 will be hosted at the Mother Center in England, Manjushri KMC. Here we feature some volunteers from all across the UK who came to help prepare for the Festival.
“Join us on 10th July for the auspicious occasion of the Grand Opening of Kadampa Meditation Centre Leeds with a public talk, How to meditate for World Peace, by Gen la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition.”
