These festivals are special spiritual holidays, when up to 4,000 people - including several hundred monks and nuns - gather from around the world to receive Buddhist teachings directly from the Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition, the renowned Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Other festivals and Dharma celebrations are led by the Deputy Spiritual Director, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab.
The festivals provide a wonderful opportunity to listen to and contemplate these teachings, as well as meditate on them in guided meditation retreats, and discuss them with spiritual friends - from beginners to those who have been practicing Buddhism for many years. Everyone can attend these festivals.
