NKT Day
Apr 6 2024
with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
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 in founding NKT–IKBU. 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.
