Preparations are now well underway for the NKT International Spring & Summer Festivals 2009!

The Festival Website will launch on 8th February containing all information about both the Spring and Summer Festivals. Online booking for Spring Festival opens on Wednesday 18th February and for Summer Festival on Wednesday 4th March, on both dates at 13.00 GMT.

Please see a preview of the programme for both Festivals below:

Please note This year Part 2 of the Summer Festival, when Venerable Geshe-la will grant the Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerments of Buddha Heruka and Vajrayogini, begins on Friday 31st July. Registration for Part 2 is therefore on the Free Day, Thursday 30th July.

Important Information: After 2009 Venerable Geshe-la is not taking any commitment to grant Heruka and Vajrayogini empowerments. We understand this from him directly so if you wish to receive these empowerments from Geshe-la you should attend the Summer Festival 2009.

If you have questions about making a booking or other Festival related queries, the Festival Bookings Office will open on Monday 2nd February. Please see contact details below.

NEW: to comply with data protection regulations bookings will only be accepted online or by post. Bookings will therefore not be accepted by Fax or by email.

We look forward to welcoming you to Manjushri KMC for these very special International Festivals. Everybody welcome!
