 Building
Temples for World Peace
A Buddhist
Temple is a unique place, a blessed and holy place. It is
a place that will have a positive influence on millions of
people now and in the future, a perfect environment for the
growth of true human qualities such as love, compassion and
wisdom A Temple is a source of peace for everyone - a focus
of world peace.
As Venerable
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso says, "Just looking at a Temple
with a happy mind places good imprints on our mind and brings
inner peace. Through the power of this special object, problems
such as anger and attachment are reduced."
The
International Temples Project
The International
Temples Project was established by Venerable Geshe Kelsang
in the early nineties. The vision is to build a Kadampa Temple
for World Peace in every major city in the world. The project
is funded entirely by voluntary donations and revenue from
International Buddhist Festivals.
A
vision for the Southeast
Since
opening its doors in Atlanta, Rameshori Buddhist Center has
rented a space to house the teachings of Kadam Dharma, and
serve the community in the southeast. Despite the limitations
of space the Center has grown exponentially in the last years.
Now we
have the opportunity to create a permanent home for Kadam
Dharma in Atlanta. It is our vision at Rameshori Buddhist
Center to build a Temple that serves as a place of refuge
for all beings. For this purpose we have created the Field
of Merit Fund. It is a special savings fund dedicated
to the purchase of a Kadam Temple for the Southeast.
The generation
of this vision is a gradual process of continuous fundraising
efforts. And given the conditions of the real estate market
in Atlanta, it will most likely involve the purchase of a
interim property to serve as a center, and collateral for
a future Temple.
With this
vision in mind our Fundraising Committee encourages you to
participate in our fundraising campaigns by getting involved
at any level:
Annual
Fundraising Dinner
We invite
you to bring your family and friends to our annual fundraising
dinner event. Save the date for May 18, 2008 at 6:00pm at
Anthony's Fine Dining Restaurant in Buckhead. Details to follow.
Dedicate
Dedications
are by nature a virtuous mental factor; it is the virtuous
intention that functions both to prevent accumulated virtue
from degenerating and to cause its increase. By dedicating
your merit and virtues to the happiness of all living beings,
specially the flourishing of pure Kadam Dharma in the southeast
you will be multiplying your good qualities and increasing
your karma for good conditions
If you
feel you have any special talents or resources we could use
for our Capital Campaing please contact our Administrative
Director, Mayra Cuevas- Nazario, at admin@meditationforeveryone.org.
