Over the weekend of 11–13 September, just under 150 people gathered at the Anne Frank House in Karlsruhe and online for the Southern Germany Dharma Celebration. Blessed with glorious late-summer weather and a venue full of warmth and charm, participants received Medicine Buddha empowerment from Gen Kelsang Ananda, National Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition in Germany. He also gave three inspiring teachings, offering valuable guidance for their personal practice.
At the 2026 International Fall Festival, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong will grant the empowerment of the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa and give teachings on how to develop and strengthen our faith in our Spiritual Guide.
More than 200 people came together at KMC Barcelona for the 2026 Northern Dharma Celebration to study, meditate, and share the spiritual path as a community.

Visiting Teachers brought practical wisdom and joyful inspiration to Kadampa communities in Fort Collins and Guadalajara, helping participants discover greater inner peace, concentration, and freedom from anxiety.
The conclusion of the 2026 Spring Festival offers us an opportunity to reflect on this truly inspiring event.
The temple is full of dedicated practitioners from around the world meditating in two final sessions on deepening our mind of compassion until it transforms into the compassion of a Buddha. In this way we awaken our Buddha nature – wishing to attain Enlightenment for all living beings.
Kadampa Festivals always conclude with a short but powerful retreat on the teachings we have received. Gen-la Sangden guides us to clear objects of meditation, emphasising developing cherishing love and compassion.
