International Festivals
International Festivals of teachings, empowerments and meditations on modern Kadampa Buddhism - Everyone welcome!
Every year, the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU) hosts three International Festivals led by senior teachers. Open to everyone regardless of experience, these extraordinary events combine practical teachings, empowerments, and guided meditations with short retreats. They offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the modern presentation of Kadampa Buddhism founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Beyond the formal program, these festivals bring together a warm, global community of like-minded practitioners from all over the world. Sharing this peaceful experience leaves you feeling not only deeply refreshed and relaxed, but also spiritually re-energised for daily life.
