This course offers a special opportunity to learn the art of making Kadampa Buddhist robes, in the beautiful and blessed environment of Madhyamaka KMC.

Robe-making is a much-needed skill to be able to offer the ever increasing numbers of ordained monks and nuns within the Kadampa Buddhist tradition.

This course will run between the NKT-IKBU Spring and Summer Festivals, with the main focus on making robes for those who are ordaining immediately prior to the Summer Festival.

Please email epc@madhyamaka.org for specific enquiries, or book below.

All materials will be provided.  Sewing experience is necessary.
