NKTB2323

The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKTIKBU 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 in founding NKTIKBU. At Manjushri KMC we will be engaging in a special day retreat reciting Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s name mantra and then Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog in the evening of NKT Day.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.
