Located at Conishead Priory in Ulverston, England, and consecrated in July 1997, the NKT-Kadampa-Temple is the main meditation hall at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre and the location of annual Spring and Summer Festivals attended by New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) Buddhists from all over the world.
