Important information on joining the Festival online

It is recommended to attend the Spring Festival 2026 in-person, but it will be possible to participate online if you are not able to attend in person.

What to book for
You will need to choose to attend either in-person or online at the time of booking. You will not be able to book for both. Each person viewing the Festival Online will need to make their own booking. Viewing links cannot be shared.

Live streaming with video on demand
For those who have booked to participate online, each teaching and meditation session will be available as a live stream following the Festival timetable and as a video on demand shortly after the end of the live session.

How to watch
The Festival teachings will be available to watch through the Kadampa Booking System (KBS). When you are logged into KBS you will be able to see the livestream option for your event and watch any of the events you have booked. More information will be sent nearer the time.

You set-up an account and gain access to KBS when you book for any International Kadampa Festival.

Translations
The Festival will be given in English and the videos will include the option to listen to the teachings in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Mandarin.

Availability
The videos will be available online until 23:59 UK time 10 June. This excludes the empowerment, which will be available only for 24 hours from the time the link has been made live.

Please note: the empowerment would not normally be available as a video on demand, but because this is an International Festival as an exception it will be available online for 24 hours to ensure people in different time zones are able to view it.
