At: the Kadampa Meditation Center in Glen Spey, New York
This joyful event is the largest annual gathering of Kadampa Buddhists in North America. It provides us with an opportunity to relax and enjoy a very meaningful spiritual vacation – receiving Buddha’s personal advice to improve our lives, meditating on transformative teachings, and spending time with like-minded friends in the tranquil environment of the US Kadampa World Peace Temple. This year, please join us to receive the blessing empowerment of Arya Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. The empowerment ceremony and the teachings that follow will be accompanied by guided meditations and two days of retreat to deepen our understanding and experience of what we have learned.

Everyone, whether new to Buddhism or an experienced practitioner, will benefit from attending the Festival. Beginners will learn practical methods to solve life’s problems, while long-time students will be further inspired on their spiritual path.
