Kadampa Temples for World Peace
International Temples Project
The International Temples Project was founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang
Gyatso with the vision to create a Kadampa Buddhist Temple in every major city in the world.
It's aim is to introduce the Buddhist faith of the New Kadampa Tradition publicly and inparticular to exemplify Buddhist practice through public services.
Pure Lands in our troubled world
Kadampa Buddhist Temples take many forms.
Some are custom built according to a specific design developed by Geshe Kelsang based on traditional Buddhist architecture, such as the Mother Temple at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in England. Other examples include the Temples in New York and Sao Paulo.
Others are adapted from existing buildings acquired for Kadampa Meditation Centres around the world, such as the temples in:
Yet Others are incorporated within Hotel Kadampas, such as those in Malaga and Tuscany. Whetever form they take, Kadampa Temples are holy places open to everyone to enjoy. They are Pure Lands in our troubled world, offering doorways to inner peace for all who visit them.
"A Temple is one of the best ways of benefitting other living beings - it is the best form of public service."
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
