Kadampa Buddhist Temples take many forms. Some are custom built according to a special design developed by Kelsang Gyatso 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. The first Kadampa Temple was built at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Center in England. This temple is located at Conishead Priory on the outskirts of Ulverston, Cumbria, England. It was consecrated in July 1997 and functions as the main meditation hall at Manjushri KMC.
