The Kadampa World Peace Temple - KMC Brazil
Buddhist Meditation Temple in Brazil
The Kadampa World Peace Temple at KMC-Brazil arose from the pure intention and vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and is dedicated to the happiness and freedom from suffering of every living being.
It will be the third traditional Kadampa Temple built as part of the International Temples Project and the world largest one up to now.
The Temple was designed and built under Geshe Kelsang’s guidance to represent the celestial palace of Buddha Heruka, the Buddha of Compassion.

Deep spiritual meaning
The symbolic architecture of the Temple and its original art endow it with a tranquil beauty that soothes our minds and has deep spiritual meaning. The Temple is treasured by Kadampa practitioners as a holy object that inspires us to attain inner and outer peace.
“Just looking at the Temple with a happy mind brings inner peace.” Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
