TEMPLE PROJECTS

The first Kadampa Temple for World Peace was opened by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in 1997 at Manjushri KMC in the UK.

This modern Temple based on traditional designs was designed by Venerable Geshe-la, who oversaw every stage of its construction and adornment.

Since then five more Kadampa Temples for World Peace have been completed at:

KMC New York
KMC Brazil
KMC Portugal
IKRC Grand Canyon
KMC Spain

Many more are planned for the future including for France, Germany, Canada and Russia.

These Temples are designed to accommodate large numbers of people for Festivals and Dharma Celebrations and also to be the hub for residential communities both in and around the host center.
