Summer Festival Day 1

Today we welcome thousands of Kadampa practitioners from around the world to the International Kadampa Summer Festival

Summer Festival Day 1

Already teams of volunteers, many of whom have just arrived themselves, spring into action to welcome arrivals.  Bells ring as coach after coach turns up bringing the international arrivals from the airport.

Everyone is so happy to get here, some are here for the very first time.  Someone asks for directions to the temple, others are meeting in the cafe after getting registered. Everywhere there is joy and kindness.  There is energy in the air, the anticipation of two weeks of Kadampa life, that unmistakable festival vibe.  Our Kadampa family is together again, old friends meeting, new friendships forming, already meaningful conversations taking place about Dharma and spiritual life.
