Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Statue

NKT-Feiertag

Offering our faith
Sunday 6 April 2025
9:00–18:00

Feiere mit uns diesen Sonntag den NKT-Feiertag! An diesem besonderen Tag gedenken wir der Gründung der NKT–IKBU (Neue Kadampa-Tradition – Internationale Kadampa-Buddhistische Union) durch den ehrwürdigen Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche im Jahr 1991.

This occasion is celebrated through special events, as well as Pujas and dedications in Kadampa centers worldwide. Prayers are offered for the flourishing of Kadampa Dharma across the globe, so that all sentient beings may quickly attain lasting inner peace.

Vor allem erinnern wir uns an die außergewöhnliche Güte des Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche bei der Gründung der NKT–IKBU. Im Kadampa Meditationszentrum Schweiz werden wir an diesem besonderen Tag an einem Retreat teilnehmen, bei dem wir das Namensmantra des Ehrwürdigen Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoches rezitieren und am Abend des NKT-Tages das Wunscherfüllende Juwel mit Tsog durchführen.
