2 VENERABLE GESHE KELSANG GYATSO RINPOCHE Spiritual Guide and Founder of Modern Kadampa Buddhism Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche is a world-renowned meditation master who holds the very essence of Buddha s teachings in his heart. He transmits this profound wisdom and compassion to the people of the modern world in very practical ways through the extremely accessible methods of modern Kadampa Buddhism, which he has introduced into contemporary society. Venerable Geshe-la firmly believes that modern people can transform their lives and therefore their world through applying Buddha s teachings on controlling the mind. Accordingly, as this brochure shows, he has dedicated his life to laying the foundation for modern Kadampa Buddhism to flourish in this and future generations so that anyone, regardless of nationality, culture, gender or age, can easily understand the meaning of Buddha s teachings and apply them to their daily life and in this way find true inner peace.

3 AN EXTRAORDINARY VISION Kensington, London Paris A temple for every city in the world Santiago, Chile Oslo Venerable Geshe-la s vision is for a traditional Temple or modern City Temple offering courses in modern Kadampa Buddhism to appear in every city in the world. Through this interconnected web of Venerable Geshe-la s kindness, everyone everywhere will have the opportunity to profoundly transform their life. Brisbane New York City Berlin Cape Town

4 BUILDING TRADITIONAL TEMPLES The design of traditional Kadampa Temples is based on the mandala palace of Buddha Heruka. There are presently four such Temples, with the fifth scheduled to open in September 2019 in Arizona. Because of their design and characteristics, just looking at these Temples reminds us of the path to enlightenment and encourages us not to waste our human life on meaningless activities. UK Temple, Opened 1997 New York Temple, Opened 2006 Through this, the door to Buddha s Pure Land will be opened and everyone will be welcome to enter through this door. Brazil Temple, Opened 2010 Portugal Temple, Opened 2013 Arizona Temple, Opening 2019

5 QUALIFIED KADAMPA SHRINES WORLDWIDE Opening Ceremony for KMC Brisbane with the newly designed layout for future shrines Preparing the Dharma Wheel for the Arizona Temple in the Kadampa Art Studio UK Through the force of Venerable Geshe-la s vision and energy, many traditional and city Temples are now appearing throughout the world. Each Temple needs a qualified shrine and other adornments, and these in turn need qualified artists to produce them - both at the Kadampa Art Studio at Manjushri KMC in the UK and on location at the various Temple sites. Many of these locations provide opportunities for volunteers to help and train in skills such as casting, painting and gilding. Shipments of holy objects for the Urban Temple shrine arrive in Malaga, Spain from the Kadampa Art Studio Artists gilding the vajras for the Temple at International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA The Kadampa Art studio prepared 37 Vajras, 4 Wheels, 8 Deer, 64 Auspicious Symbol plaques, 70 Confession Buddhas and 16 Goddesses to adorn the new Arizona Temple

30 These study programmes are special methods for developing and gaining Dharma realizations Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche Study and meditation are the key elements of modern Kadampa Buddhism. We need to study Buddha s teachings to improve our understanding and ensure our meditations are qualified. And we need to meditate to take Buddha s teachings to heart, which is the only method to free us from the tyranny of uncontrolled minds and enjoy true inner peace. Kailash IRC, Switzerland land IRC, Germany For this reason Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has developed three study programmes - the General Programme, Foundation Programme and Teacher Training Programme, which are taught at Kadampa Buddhist Centres throughout the world. And he is encouraging the development of International Retreat Centres to provide modern people with the opportunity to gain deep absorption into the meaning of Buddha s teachings.

The scope and activities of the ITP are constantly evolving in response to the needs of the ever-changing demands of busy lives. It presently achieves its aim through developing and building traditional and non- traditional temples, meditation and retreat centres, and through the activities of World Peace Cafés and Publications. International Temples Project The aim of the ITP is to introduce the Buddhist faith and practice of the New Kadampa Tradition publicly, and to exemplify contemporary Buddhist practice through service to the public.
