      UK Kadampa World Peace Temple

       At Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre, Ulverston

       One of many Kadampa Temples established by the author

      The International Temples Project was founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche with the aim to introduce the Buddhist faith and practice of the New Kadampa Tradition publicly, and to exemplify contemporary Buddhist practice through public service.

      It achieves this through building traditional and non-traditional Temples, meditation centres and retreat centres, and through the activities of Kadampa Schools, World Peace Cafés and Tharpa Publications.
