Celebrate His Holiness the Dalai Lama's birthday!

Come join in celebrating His Holiness' 87th birthday!

All are invited to join in Kadampa Center's celebration of His Holiness’ 87th birthday! We will begin with a procession to enthrone an image of His Holiness.  The procession will be followed by prayer offerings in the gompa for His Holiness' long life as well as for the continued success in all of his extensive activities as the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people and as a world-wide spokesman for basic human values of compassion and universal responsibility.

Let's celebrate!  For those joining us in person, this family-friendly event will continue ~ outside and socially distanced ~ with birthday cake!

Please observe the following COVID protocols while attending Kadampa Center events in person:

• Gompa seating will be limited to allow for social distancing and maximum air filtration (please do not rearrange seating).
• Anyone wishing to attend Sunday Dharma inside the gompa must have an up-to-date COVID-19 vaccine. Up-to-date means a person has received all recommended doses in their primary series COVID-19 vaccine, and a booster dose when eligible. No other conditions (such as being infected with COVID-19 in the past) qualify you to be in the gompa. 
• There will be additional seating in the lobby for those who prefer that seating or who are not up-to-date on the vaccine. 
• Please maintain at least a 6-foot distance from Geshe-la, whether he is seated or entering/leaving the building. We will not have a khata line or opportunities to bring offerings to Geshe-la at the end of teachings. Of course, any student who wishes to make an offering may leave an envelope or card of appreciation on his table before he arrives. This is to protect our precious teacher.
• Masks must be worn at all times while inside the building.  Masks are optional for our teachers so they can be clearly understood.
• Please use hand sanitizer upon entering the Center.
• Continue to use good hand hygiene practices while onsite e.g. washing hands immediately after using the restroom or blowing your nose, keeping your hands to yourself, avoid touching your face, cover coughs and sneezes with your elbow.
• Please stay home if you, or someone you have been around, don’t feel well.
