New Year’s Eve Candlelight Celebration

Enter the new year with a positive mind, a peaceful heart, and meaningful resolutions that will set you up for the year ahead! Our New Year's Eve celebrations will feature an inspiring talk by our Resident Teacher, Gen Chodor, candle-lit chanted prayers, group meditation, and the opportunity to enjoy refreshments and socialize with the friendly community of KMC Canada.

We will ring in 2026 by engaging in the most beautiful meditations for world peace, mentally connecting with the international Kadampa Buddhist community. Sharing a sense of global unity will be very powerful! Everyone is welcome.

This event takes place in the serene, spacious, and comfortable meditation room at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. No previous meditation experience is needed. Everyone is welcome!
