New Kadampa Tradition Day
Saturday 5th April 2025
No need to book. For more information and timetable please scroll down.
The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKT–IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in 1991.
The occasion is marked by special events and by pujas and dedications at Kadampa centres worldwide. Prayers are made for the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world so that all living beings might quickly find permanent inner peace.
Above all, we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in founding NKT–IKBU. At Tara IKRC we will be engaging in a special day retreat reciting Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche’s name mantra and then Offering to the Spiritual Guide with tsog in the evening. Everybody is welcome!
