A Kadampa Buddhist Temple is a special, holy place, where we can receive blessings and powerful imprints on our minds that lead to deep inner peace in the future.
噶当巴佛寺是个特殊的净土,让告访者领授加持,赐予内心的平静。
Many Kadampa Temples are being built around the world as part of the International Temples Project.
建设噶当巴佛寺的工程随着国际寺庙计划的成立也在各国展开了。
Kadampa Buddhist Temples take many forms. Some are custom built according to a special design developed by Geshe Kelsang based on traditional Buddhist architecture, such as the Mother Temple at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in England and the Temples in New York, and São Paulo.
噶当巴寺庙有很多不同的格式。一些格式是格西格桑嘉措根据传统寺庙的设计而特別建造的,例如位於英国中部的文殊师利禅修中心以及纽约及圣保罗的寺庙。
Others are adapted from existing buildings acquired for Kadampa Meditation Centers around the world, such as the Temples in Toronto, Le Mans, Berlin, Zurich, Texas, and Melbourne. Yet others are incorporated within Hotel Kadampas, such as those in Málaga and Holland.
其他则是由世界各地的噶当禅修中心所购买的现成建筑改造而成的,例如位於加拿大多倫多、法国勒芒、德国柏林、瑞士苏黎士、美国德州及澳洲墨尔本的噶当巴禅修中心。又或者与噶当巴旅馆合并,例如位於西班牙的马拉加及荷兰的寺庙。
Many more Temples are being planned and constructed throughout the world, presently at Florida KMC in the USA, in Portugal, and in the UK where the first NKT International School is being prepared at Tara Kadampa Meditation Centre.
在世界各地还有许多寺庙在计划及建设中,例如美国佛罗里达州,葡萄牙和英国度母噶当巴禅修中心及即将开办的新噶当巴国际学院。
Whatever form they take, Kadampa Temples are holy places open to everyone to enjoy. They are Pure Lands in our troubled world – offering doorways to inner peace for all who visit them.
无论任何格式,噶当巴寺庙是开放给大众的圣地。它們是这个不淨世界的淨土 – 为所有造訪者提供一條通往內在安寧的道路。
Pure land 净土
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso explains that at first a Temple is a representation of a Pure Land, such as Tushita Heaven where Je Tsongkhapa abides, or the Pure land of Buddha Heruka and Vajrayogini.
尊贵的格西格桑嘉措解释,最初,寺庙是象征净土,就如宗喀巴的兜率天及赫如嘎及金剛瑜伽母净土。
Eventually, however, through the force of all the pure practices and sincere prayers performed in it and the blessings of the Holy Beings, the Temple becomes an actual Pure Land.
藉着纯净的修习,虔诚的祈祷及圣者的加持,最终寺庙转变成真正的净土

所有的噶当巴寺庙都有个漂亮的圣坛,你可以看到由噶当巴雕塑工作室所塑造的庄严佛尊,任何人只要观看这些佛像就会领授到强力的加持及在未来体验到甚深的内在安宁。
