Sacred Meanings of the Kadampa Temple
When traveling somewhere we have never been before, we want a map and obvious signs to guide us. Adorning the Kadampa World Peace Temple at KMC NY through the kindness of its designer, Ven. Geshe-la, we find four doorways, the eight auspicious symbols, Dharma wheels and deer, and golden vajras, each rich with spiritual meaning to encourage and inspire us. Undertaking an incredible inner journey, following step by step the clear directions we are given, we can reach the ultimate destination of any traveler – inner and outer peace.
