Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche says that Kadampa centers do not belong to any individuals but to all living beings. And legal and constitutional  safeguards are in place to ensure this will always be the case.

This means the centers are very precious. Venerable Geshe-la says that whenever we engage in an action to benefit our center we are in fact benefitting all living beings. Through such actions we accumulate vast merit, purify negativities and receive powerful blessings.

Here we feature just a few illustrations of Kadampas around the world cherishing their center - in many cases, preparing to receive guests to watch the Fall Festival with their sangha.
