Our Story
The International Kadampa Retreat Center Grand Canyon (IKRC) is part of the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) founded by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Our community is an international spiritual community dedicated to achieving world peace through following the Buddhist path. We are currently constructing a traditional Buddhist temple for World Peace which everyone is welcome to enjoy. Whatever the reason for visiting, Geshe-la has said that anyone who sees a Temple or the holy objects within will receive a special blessing that sows a seed of future peace and happiness in their mind.
