​2025 Fall Festival
Post-Festival Retreat
OCT 10-15 at the Kadampa Meditation Center Arizona in Tucson, Arizona
Kadampa Buddhists worldwide rely upon Dorje Shugden as their Dharma Protector. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or a Bodhisattva whose main function is to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from gaining spiritual realizations, and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice.
On this retreat we will emphasise how we can rely upon the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden and make swift progress along the spiritual path. The retreat will be based upon the teachings at this year’s NKT Fall Festival but it is not necessary to have attended this festival to attend this retreat.
Everyone is welcome!​​
