The centrepiece is a large statue of Buddha with his two Bodhisattva disciples. The temple is a place of unusual beauty that has profound spiritual meaning.

The Temple provides a place for quiet reflection and spiritual inspiration. It is used every day for meditation and prayers and is open to the public every afternoon. Please see opening times. (visit link)

Just looking at the Temple with a happy mind brings inner peace.

Designed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. and built by Kadampa Buddhists as an offering to future generations, the Kadampa Buddhist Temple was opened in 1997 and dedicated to world peace.
