Our Tradition

International Temples Project
The International Temples Project was founded by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche with the vision to create a Kadampa Buddhist Temple in every major city in the world. Its aim is to introduce the Buddhist Faith of the New Kadampa Tradition publicly and in particular to exemplify Buddhist practice through public service.
