Public Service
- World Peace Cafe: Exemplifying the Buddhist faith through public service is central to the ethos of Kadampa Buddhism, and it is this philosophy that underlies the World Peace Café. Inspired by the vision of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the café exists to promote peace throughout the world. All profits are used for building Kadampa Temples dedicated to world peace for the benefit of this and future generations.
- Teaching Methods for Inner Peace: Tilopa Buddhist Centre is a non-profit dedicated to World Peace by helping teach methods for inner peace. Without inner peace, world peace is impossible.
- School Visits: Tilopa Buddhist Centre welcomes requests from schools to visit our Centre.
