National and regional Dharma Celebrations

National and regional Dharma Celebrations are taught by National Spiritual Directors in various countries each year. Countries in which Kadampa Centers are established have National Spiritual Directors who oversee the spiritual development in the centers in their country, and who give public teachings at large events such as Dharma Celebrations.
