Spring Festival 2025 – Solving our Daily Problems with Loving Kindness
International Kadampa Buddhist Festival
@ Manjushri KMC, Ulverston, Cumbria
Friday 23- Wednesday 28 May
In-person & Livestream
Join us for the International Kadampa Spring Festival.
Our Spring Festival will be taking place at the Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in Cumbria. Accommodation is available on site or nearby, or else you can visit for a day, or attend online.
Our festivals are a spiritual holiday like no other. They give us an opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and to make time for our inner spiritual development for a concentrated period of time. In this way we accelerate our meditation practice, deepening our understanding and experience in a relatively short period of time. We also have the opportunity to meet and be part of a diverse and international community from all walks of life. People of every age and background are welcome to attend the Festivals and no prior experience is necessary.
