Join hundreds of like-minded people from around the United States at the blessed International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon in Williams, AZ. 

Everyone attending the festival has the same spiritual aspiration and intention, and is following the same Spiritual Guide. This feeling of shared purpose and mutual support is both inspiring and empowering, and opens our mind to a vision of a better world–a vision that actually seems achievable. 

At US Festival, we also have the opportunity to receive teachings, meditate and make prayers in the World Peace Temple alongside hundreds of other people. 

“In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we will make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we will be successful.” – Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
