Summer Festival Dorje Shugden Empowerment

There is no better way to receive an empowerment than to be surrounded by fellow practitioners. Join our New York City Sangha from our main Center in Chelsea for the empowerment of Dorje Shugden, granted by Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong. This empowerment is part of the International Kadampa Summer Festival. As such, to register to join us at KMC NYC for this event you must first register for the Festival here.
