Notes and Events:

The Texas Kadampa World Peace Temple at KMC Texas has arisen from the pure intention and vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union.  The Temple is dedicated to the happiness and freedom from suffering of every living being. It is one of many temples built around the world as part of the International Temples Project.

The current building in Arlington has been renovated under Geshe Kelsang’s guidance into a modern Kadampa Buddhist Temple.

“We hope and pray that in the future similar temples will develop throughout the world, in every major city of every country and dedicate the creation of these temples to world peace and for the happiness of all living beings.”  – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Deep spiritual meaning

The symbolic architecture of the Temple and its original art endow it with a tranquil beauty that soothes the mind 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

Visiting the Temple

The Temple is open for tours on Sundays from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. KMC Texas offers a full schedule of Buddhist classes, group meditation and chanted prayers, retreats, special events and day courses.  Everyone welcome!

In October of 2003, San Antonio Zen arose out of a wish to share the Dharma and sitting practice in the Soto traditions of Shunryu Suzuki. This wish was realized with the guidance and example of the teachers and students of the Austin Zen Center. We also have cultivated and cherished ties with the Houston Zen Center and the San Francisco Zen Center.

We aspire to benefit all beings (including ourselves) in each moment, unconditionally, with awareness, energy, lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity, relaxing with what is, to realize awakening.
