The Temple for Peace will develop the lesson of the Bouddhisme Tibetan and Himalayan, and should accommodate demonstrations related to Peace: conferences, interreligieuses meetings, exposures and spectacles. It will not be only one space limited to the meeting of schools of Buddhism, but a place supporting the exchanges between traditions Buddhist, Christian, Moslem, Jewish, and others more distant like those from the Indians of North America, of the Aboriginals of Australia… The congregation will organize meetings between the representatives of these spiritual traditions for better making known diversity and the values common to all these families of thought: their contribution to a better world, the respect and human dignity, the mutual tolerance, the will of peace and the non-violence… Of the conferences will join together outstanding personalities working significantly with the promotion of Peace: Nobel Prize of peace, women and men at the origin of humane projects, religious dignities of various confessions, artists working with the ideas of respect and tolerance of the people.
Since 2006, each year with Kagyu-Dzong, an artistic event takes place on the topic “Peace and Light” to support the construction of the Temple for Peace.
