Spring Community Prayer & Potluck

About the Event

Join us for community building and powerful wisdom blessings in celebration of NKT Day! From 5:00 – 6:30pm we will engage in beautiful chanted prayers to Buddha Tara & short talk about the Kadampa tradition from Kadam Lucy.

Kadam Lucy will begin with a brief explanation of the practice, helping people understand its meaning and Buddha Tara's connection to Kadampa Buddhism and the people of this modern world.

After this inspiring and uplifting chanted meditation practice, we will have a vegetarian potluck to enjoy one another’s company and followed by a presentation from KMC Colorado's Administrative Director, Kate Franklin, about the progress made in the construction of our new building next to Sloan's Lake.

Please bring a vegetarian dish to share, if you can!

What is NKT Day?

The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKT-IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang in 1991.

The occasion is marked by special events and by pujas and dedications at Kadampa centers 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 in founding NKT-IKBU and pray for him to remain with us for a very long time.
