Important information on joining the festival online

It is recommended to attend the Spring Festival 2025 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.

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
This year there is a change to the way you watch your Festival teachings, now you will do so 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.

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, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Availability
The videos will be available online until 23:59 hours BST (British Summer Time) June 11. 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.
