Manjushri: Kadampa Buddhist Temple: Ulverston

Manjushri KMC is home to the first Kadampa Temple for World Peace, which houses the largest bronze statue of Buddha cast in the West. It is located near the South Cumbrian town of Ulverston. Though built according to a traditional design, it is a modern Temple that provides a peaceful respite from our otherwise busy world. Each year, thousands of people visit the Temple to admire its artistic and architectural features and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.

The Temple is open to all, when not in use, and they are happy for photographs to be taken, as in the following set. 




The Temple is so quiet and an ideal place for meditation.

It proved to be an extremely friendly feline.
