Rising from a grassy hilltop garden surrounded by verdant woods and sparkling streams, the architecture of the Kadampa Temple will lift and inspire you. The golden glass and ornaments, intricate fieldstone masonry and masterful woodwork reflect the skill and devotion of the mostly volunteer craftsmen who labored here for five years.

Stepping inside, high tiered ceilings and glass walls on three sides bring in sunlight and fresh breezes. A gorgeous cherry wood shrine houses 15 large and ornately decorated Buddha statues, and many sculpted, gilded and painted works of art cover the walls. The Temple is dedicated to the development of everyone’s inner peace and good heart.
