With the help of the International Temples Project, KMC Durban in Southeast Africa acquired new land and set about building a new center from the ground up. Watch the progress of their center so far.
On October 13, the contractors broke ground on the new accommodations and dining room building at KMC New York. However, kind Kadampa volunteers started work well before then. In order to prepare the area for the contractors to start their work, they had to take up the road grid and gravel that was running through the building site.
Last Saturday was ITP Day, when we celebrated the work of the International Temples Project, a worldwide charitable project that works to fulfill the wishes of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

As demand for the teachings and practices of Kadam Dharma continues to grow, new centers are opening around the world while others are undergoing extension. Here we feature a center engaged in major expansion work – KMC New York.

The first World Peace Cafe (WPC) was opened in Ulverston 20 years ago by Manjushri KMC at the suggestion of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Since then many new WPCs have been opened around the world, and they are now a regular feature at Kadampa centers both in cities and in rural locations.
