New Kadampa Tradition

How to build a pure world

The first Saturday in November is International Temples Day, a special day on which we celebrate the International Temples Project (ITP) and remember the inconceivable kindness of its founder, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.

On this day, special events are held at various centers throughout the world to support the project. Prayers are made for the project to flourish and to dedicate it to world peace.

What is the the International Temples Project?
The International Temples Project is a global network of charitable activities founded by Venerable Geshe-la. Its purpose 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. It presently achieves this through building traditional and non-traditional temples, meditation and retreat centres, and through the activities of world peace cafés and Tharpa Publications.

"According to Buddhist view, especially Mahayana Buddhist view, a Temple is a representation of Buddha’s Pure Land. Statues or images of Buddha are representations of Buddha’s body, stupas are representations of Buddha’s mind, and Dharma books are representations of Buddha’s speech. These are holy, precious objects. For these reasons I recommend building Temples as one of the best ways of benefiting other living beings.

"The main function of a Temple is that those who see it or develop faith in it will receive special blessings. Whoever sees a Temple or an image of Buddha will receive the blessings of Buddha. There is no difference with regard to Buddhists and non-Buddhists – anyone, whenever they see an image of Buddha, or a Temple, will receive blessings.

"Therefore I can say that from my side, or from our side, this is the best public benefit or public service."

KECHARA FOREST RETREAT

In the heart of Bentong, Pahang state of Malaysia is a 35-acre retreat center like no other in this region. Set in the midst of lush tropical forest is the Kechara Forest Retreat, a place designed to develop a perfect balance of total wellness – body, mind and spirit. Offering comfortable accommodation, extensive facilities and the promise of peace and tranquility, this is the perfect destination for the spiritual at heart.

Conceptualized by H.E. Tsem Rinpoche as the heart of the Kechara organisation, our mission is to have those who walk through our gates experience a sustainable spiritual lifestyle that will leave the mind and body rejuvenated and inspired. We offer wholesome activities to help families and friends bond meaningfully, the weary find inner peace and the perfect getaway to find oneself and inspiration.

We believe in giving back to society through educational programs for the young and old, instilling universal positive values such as patience, tolerance, mindfulness and compassion. It is our fondest wish that all who walk through our doors return home inspired, sharing what they have learnt within their own communities, thus creating a global revolution of consciousness and kindness.

克切拉禅修林是本区域独一无二的禅修地，这片占地35英亩的土地，位于马来西亚彭亨州文冬葱翠山林内，是一个注重身心灵全然健康的禅修中心。

克切拉佛教团体的中心——克切拉禅修林，由尊贵的詹杜固仁波切启发而建。它将会是一个让人们暂离拥挤喧嚷的城市生活之地，也是供人人都到那里歇息片刻、松弛心情及充电的禅修地。

在这里，我们透过举办各种教育课程，为老幼群众灌注如宽容、接受、善良和慈悲等普世价值，并以此回馈社会。我们最大的希望就是，所有踏上禅修林这片土地的人，能获得启发并且在各自的社区推动环球性的觉知和慈悲生活方式。
