Celebrating enlightenment around the world

Last weekend, Kadampas around the world celebrated Buddha's Enlightenment Day with joyful gatherings and devoted practice.

Nyungnay retreats to purify negative karma, teachings, empowerments and courses, vegetarian feasts, and activities for young people were just some of the ways practitioners marked the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrating the attainment of enlightenment.

This is a day when we celebrate our own innate potential to become enlightened, and rejoice in Buddha's great kindness in showing us a path we can follow.
