Kadampa City Temple
First-ever Kadampa City Temple in the traditional design.
Artist's impression of the future Kadampa City Temple in Sarasota, Florida
In the near future, construction will begin on the first Kadampa City Temple for World Peace built to the traditional design in the Western world. As you can see from the artist’s impression, this stunning new building will make an inspiring addition to Sarasota, to Florida, and to the New Kadampa Tradition.
The Temple will be approximately 3000 sq feet, and include a meditation room and shrine, a Teacher’s area, and a veranda. It will be decorated with many ornaments and features similar to those seen on the larger Temples for World Peace. For more details click here.
It will be joined by a covered walkway to a new 2000 sq foot multi-purpose meeting room, bookstore and office.
Once the Temple is built, the 2000 sq foot existing house presently being used for classes and residents will convert entirely to residential use.
The surrounding land will be landscaped with beautiful tropical plants and flowers, creating many restful areas for people to come for relaxation and reflection. There are also plans to offer World Peace Café facilities both inside the new meeting room and outside in the grounds.
