Temples for World Peace

THE INTERNATIONAL TEMPLES PROJECT

temple-hero-still

Buddhism has a simple but profound message: since all problems in the world originate in the mind, the solutions to these problems and the causes of lasting peace and happiness are also found within the mind. It’s only by developing inner peace that we can solve our own problems and help others do the same. This is how we create world peace.

THE INTERNATIONAL TEMPLES PROJECT

The internal scientific methods to accomplish inner peace are now available to everyone in the modern world, through the books, teachings and living example of the contemporary Buddhist Master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

By establishing the NKT-IKBU International Temples Project (ITP), Venerable Geshe-la makes world peace an attainable goal now and for future generations. This non-profit organization has brought Kadampa Buddhism to the modern world, providing courses, Teachers, books, Meditation Centres, World Peace Temples and Buddhist communities so that countless people can establish lasting inner peace.

HOW TO BUILD A PURE WORLD

THE ETERNAL GIFT

Recognizing the difficulty that people of the modern world have in accessing the real meaning and value of Buddha’s teachings, Geshe-la has spent his life preparing and refining a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings that fits comfortably with busy modern life. He has done this while remaining completely true to Buddha’s original intention.
