3 Five-tiered Design for the New Temples A temple symbolizes the attainment of enlightenment, which is the ultimate goal of human life. It is a precious, holy object that reminds us not to waste our life on meaningless activities but to apply effort to attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche Under the auspices of the International Temples Project (ITP), a number of new traditional style temples are now planned for various locations around the world. These new temples are being constructed using a new five-tiered design. The IKRC Grand Canyon Temple is scheduled to open in NEW TEMPLES FOR THE WORLD To provide a global infrastructure for the continued growth and development of modern Kadampa Buddhism, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche founded the International Temples Project (ITP). 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 Tharpa Publications. Venerable Geshe-la's vision is to create a temple in every city throughout the world. That vision is increasingly becoming a reality as each year sees the opening of more temples.

4 THARPA PUBLICATIONS Distributing the Wisdom of Modern Buddhism The Mirror of Dharma How to Find the Real Meaning of Human Life Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has written twenty-three authoritative books on Buddhism and meditation, which are published and distributed worldwide by Tharpa Publications. Written with extraordinary clarity, these books offer a practical approach that meets the needs of modern people. They are available in many languages and range from introductory works to detailed commentaries on the most profound THARPA PUBLICATIONS AROUND THE WORLD aspects of Buddhism. Venerable Geshe Kelsang s books form the basis of the highly popular study programmes in modern Kadampa Buddhism that are the core programmes of Kadampa centres around the world. To find out more about these books and other Tharpa products, and to purchase online, visit tharpa.com A new book by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche available at the International Spring Festival 2018 In this practical guide to the Buddhist path, Venerable Geshe-la, as he is affectionately known, gives a special presentation of the essential practices of Buddha's teachings of both Sutra and Tantra. Based on his deep experience gained from a lifetime spent in meditation, and inspired by the unsurpassed teachings of Je Tsongkhapa and the oral instructions of the Ganden Emanation Scripture, the author gives personal advice from his heart on how to make our human life meaningful, to learn how to be happy all the time and to solve our daily problems of anger, uncontrolled desire, ignorance and so forth. Using a mirror we can improve our physical qualities, and using the mirror of Dharma we can improve our inner qualities by developing cherishing love for all living beings, compassion for all living beings and loving kindness for everyone until we attain the ultimate good quality of enlightenment. This practical guide includes: Essential insights on the advice from Je Tsongkhapa's heart called The Three Principal Aspects of the Path to Enlightenment How we can use the Request to the Lord of All Lineages prayer to contemplate and meditate on all the stages of the path of both Sutra and Tantra How to train in the meditation practice of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion A special presentation of the practice of the stages of the path to enlightenment, known as Lamrim

Attaining Complete Purity PART 2 WITH GEN-LA KELSANG DEKYONG General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments and commentary to the practices of Heruka Body Mandala and Vajrayogini When we completely purify our mind through Tantric practice, our world, our self, our enjoyments and our activities also become completely pure this is the state of enlightenment.
