In 1997, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche opened the first Kadampa Temple for Word Peace at Manjushri KMC, which was constructed largely by Kadampa builders and volunteers according to Venerable Geshe-la's design.

Based on the mandala palace of Buddha Heruka, every aspect of the Temple teaches the spiritual path and encourages us to use our human life meaningfully.

Since then Venerable Geshe-la has overseen the design and construction of five more traditional-style Temples,   More are planned for the future. All the Temples are dedicated to world peace.
