Festival

Join us for the 2008 Australasian Kadampa Buddhist Festival with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, the Deputy Spiritual Director of the New Kadampa Tradition. The Festival is a unique opportunity to enjoy a spiritual holiday of teachings, meditations and empowerments, in the company of spiritual practitioners from all over Australasia.

During the Festival, Gen-la will grant the empowerments of Je Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden and give teachings on how to maintain a joyful approach to our practice of Buddha’s teachings. An empowerment is an opportunity to make a special connection with an enlightened being so that we can receive their constant care and protection. Relying on Je Tsongkhapa and Dorje Shugden, manifestations of the wisdom Buddha Manjushri, is the heart practice of Kadampa Buddhism.

In order to complete the spiritual journey to enlightenment we also need a firm determination to not stop until we have accomplished our extraordinary goal. Through understanding our supreme destination, we can enjoy our spiritual practice throughout our whole life.
