Personal Growth

We want your inner light to shine and inspire others

The Can Cet Foundation was founded to promote personal development and personal growth in all areas of life, offering special attention to vulnerable groups and people with functional diversity, following the same path as Can Cet, but extending its mission to the general public, including children.

Therefore, the purpose of the Can Cet Foundation extends to everyone, regardless of their abilities, with the purpose of helping people to make their inner light shine, advancing in the development of their spiritual, personal and professional dimensions in order to enjoy a life with purpose and experience fulfilment and wellbeing.

Professional and material development, only when accompanied by inner personal development and a purposeful life, gives people a feeling of wellbeing and happiness, as well as the fulfilment that arises from understanding the meaning of one’s own life.

Promotion and support for the development of meditation and the values of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT-IKBU)

By contributing personnel and material resources, we are committed to the worldwide growth of the practice of meditation as a method for self-knowledge, personal growth and spiritual development, and we support the values of Kadampa Buddhism to benefit people in Western society. The New Kadampa Tradition works to help each individual awaken their inner light, and this is what the Can Cet Foundation believes to be essential for their happiness and fulfilment, as well as creating a better society.

Promotion of new projects related to the foundational principles

At Can Cet Foundation we provide support and encourage the emergence of innovative and entrepreneurial projects, as well as start-ups or newly created companies that work to promote ideas and principles of social inclusion, diversity, solidarity and equality, as well as other foundational values.

Commitment to education in childhood

We carry out and promote projects that foster the respectful accompaniment of children and a new way of educating, based on respect and support so that they develop all their human dimensions in a comprehensive and balanced way, making a more inclusive ecological, responsible and committed future society a reality.

We want to promote, foster and innovate in projects for professional development, personal growth and the spiritual path

June 27, 2026

Following our participation in the Post-Fall Festival 2024 in Buenos Aires, we had the opportunity to witness firsthand the extraordinary work carried out by the KMC Argentina team in spreading the teachings of Kadam Dharma. It was a deeply inspiring experience that allowed us to understand both their dedication and the great challenges they face. At that time, Argentina was going through a particularly complex economic situation, marked by very high inflation that made it enormously difficult to carry out the centre’s usual activities. Among the main difficulties was the inability to access the resources needed for printing books, a
