Seattle | Northwest Dharma Celebration

The Northwest Dharma Celebration is a special event held every year as a gathering of the Kadampa Buddhist Centers in the Pacific Northwest. This event was created by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, founder of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union, to provide an opportunity for people from all over the Northwest to gather together as a spiritual community to receive empowerments, Dharma teachings and engage in meditation retreat.

About the Teachings

Everyone is welcome to this special Dharma Celebration!  Western US National Spiritual Director, Gen Kelsang Rigpa, will bring us closer to Arya Tara with a blessing empowerment, and he will give teachings on integrating Dharma into daily life through the practice of the five forces.There is no doubt that by practicing the five forces with Kadam Lamrim of Sutra and Tantra we will definitely accomplish our final goal – the ultimate peace for ourself and for the entire world. As Dharmakirti says in Commentary to Valid Cognition, “If all the causes for something are assembled nothing can stop it occurring.”

We should integrate all our daily Dharma practices into the five forces because this special method will cause our practices to bear fruit.
