Where does the money come from to build all the World Peace Temples and city Temples, create all the statues and publish all the books developed under the auspices of the International Temples Project?
The first Saturday in November is International Temples Day, a special day on which we celebrate the International Temples Project (ITP) and remember the inconceivable kindness of its founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. On this day, special events are held at various centers throughout the world to support the project. Prayers are made for the project to flourish and to dedicate it to world peace.

Today, October 25, is Je Tsongkhapa Day. Je Tsongkhapa is an emanation of Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. Buddha emanates as Je Tsongkhapa to spread his pure teachings of Sutra and Tantra in general, and especially Highest Yoga Tantra, throughout the world.
At the recent Fall Festival, we caught a glimpse of the vast and profound mirror of Dharma that is the holy mind of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. And now we are witnessing beautiful reflections from this mirror appearing all round the world.
