WORK A DAY FOR WORLD PEACE & HELP DHARMA FLOURISH IN THIS WORLD

October 14 is a great opportunity for anyone who cherishes the growth of Kadam Dharma and the fulfilment of Venerable Geshe-la's vision.

Friday, October 14, will be Work a Day for World Peace Day, during which people all over the world will dedicate a day's wages or whatever is a comfortable amount to help with the work of the International Temples Project.

Every cent donated goes toward fulfilling the compassionate vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche to build a Kadampa Temple in every city of the world - both urban temples and larger, traditional Temples for World Peace.

If you would like to contribute you can do so at any time using the button at the top of the page.

CHILDCARE WORKER

 

I'm going to donate to the International Temple Project because I want to support Geshe-La's vision of having a modern Buddhist temple in every city In the world. I feel extremely fortunate to have found the Kadampa Centre in Stuttgart and the Kadam Dharma teachings. I want everyone in the world to have the opportunity to practice pure Dharma and I hope that the nextgeneration of children will grow up in a world where inner peace and cherishing others are more important than amassing material wealth and social status.

To support an organisation that addresses our problems on the fundamental level of consciousness and is therefore a non-deceptive cause of actual world peace: that is a truly meaningful expression of the money that comes from my work. I am grateful for the opportunity to give in this way.

Venerable Geshe-la’s Dharma has not only given great meaning to my life, but transformed it in such a way that I feel I can now help others find the same peace I’ve been able find within me. I want to give a day’s wages - simply my energy in the form of money - to the ITTP because it will create more Kadampa Temples in the world. Knowing that every single living being who even sees that Temple will receive an imprint to meet the Dharma fills me with delight!

Because it is the best public service we can offer to society since it helps all beings develop inner peace and thus solve all their current and future problems and find pure and lasting happiness.

My wish is to support Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's vision that there will finally be peace in the world by spreading the Kadam Dharma. The more temples and meditation centers are created, the more people will contribute to it.

How wonderful to have a day where we can give the fruits of our labour, towards the creation of world peace. Not only are we creating inner peace for ourselves by practicing giving, learning yet another way to transform our "ordinary" work into the path, but we actually contributing to the creation and maintenance of Kadampa Temples so that all living beings will have the opportunity to engage in the path to enlightenment.

I love taking my grandson Pedro to the temple. His eyes light up as soon as I tell him we're going. When we arrive it's as if he's in the best place ever. I'm donating to the International Temples Project because Kadampa centres are special for us all and I think especially for our children, grandchildren and future generations.

I am taking part on Work a Day for World Peace because this project demonstrates that by building temples world peace is possible. Through this project, many temples have been built in countries where pure Buddhadharma was not present before; for me, this is one of the reasons I am able to practise these teachings, as a result my life is more peaceful and happier. I want everyone in this world to have the same opportunity to transform their minds and solve their problems with wisdom.
