International Summer Festival

The emphasis for Summer Festival 2022 is on in-person attendance, but it will be possible to participate online if you are not able to attend in-person.

The International Summer Festival 2022 will be held at Manjushri KMC in the UK, July 29- August 13.

In Week 1, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab, retired General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni and teachings on Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche's extraordinary book, Clear Light of Bliss.

In Week 2, Gen-la Kelsang Jampa, Deputy Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, will give further teachings on Clear Light of Bliss.

Emanation scripture
Clear Light of Bliss
is a remarkable book that explains with exceptional clarity how through training in Mahamudra practices we can transform our very subtle mind into the clear light of bliss, the actual quick path to enlightenment.

It is a unique book the likes of which cannot be found anywhere, even amongst traditional Buddhist scriptures. It includes the uncommon Mahamudra instructions that come from Je Tsongkhapa, with an additional explanation of other practices such as tummo meditation, which was Milarepa’s main practice.

As Venerable Geshe-la himself says, 'For me this book is a Ganden Emanation Scripture.'
