NZ Kadampa Festival 2027

With Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang
8-11 January 2027
Strathean Retreat Centre, 212 Old Hautere Road, Te Horo, Kāpiti Coast, Wellington

We, and all those we love, are afflicted by disease: diseases of the body, of the mind and the spirit. Ordinary medicines can only alleviate and postpone sickness for a short time, but the sacred meditations revealed in the Medicine Buddha teachings can heal us forever and empower us with the ability to heal others completely.

During this special event, Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang, one of the most powerful and revered of all the Kadampa teachers, will share inspiring explanations of the Medicine Buddha practice.

Everyone is welcome…
The New Zealand Kadampa Festival is an annual event where people from the whole of New Zealand have a chance to come together and celebrate the teachings of Modern Buddhism in a peaceful yet vibrant environment.
