221 Dean Street. A place you may not
have been yet but it makes you wonder, what goes on behind the doors
of the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple? We'll let you know, it's
definitely worth checking out. With great work shops, amazing people
within the temple, and more services then you knew they had, they do
an awful lot and have a great time doing it.
“Our mission is to promote individual
peace of mind, compassion for all beings, spiritual growth, and an
ethical way of life based on Buddhist principles”
According to their Facebook: “The
Blue Lotus Temple was founded in 2002 by a monk from Sri Lanka named
Bhante Sujatha who has resided thoughout McHenry County, Illinois
ever since. The Blue Lotus Temple focuses on ease of access for all
and has a wide variety of services to assist those who know nothing
about Buddhism or meditation. The Blue Lotus Temple is very active
and has something going on somewhere almost every day.”
But what do they do in there you ask?
Why, some of the most fascinating workshops you could ever want to be
a part of! Healing sound immersion, monthly drum circles,
introduction to reflexology, gong meditation, and sound healing just
to name a few. Along with what we hear is going to be an awesome
Thai dinner coming up as well.
“Blue Lotus is a nice temple that
lets you in with welcoming arms.” Is one thing we've heard in the
community. Others have made comments about the great workshops and
beautiful spirit of the people within the temple.
With services such as: Wedding
ceremonies and blessings, Birthday blessings, Birth rites and
blessings. House blessings, Hospital visitations , Last rites, Family
retreats, Youth retreats, One-on-one meditation sessions for
beginners, and School programs it's no wonder they're such a beloved
temple.
With so many workshops and services,
Blue Lotus Temple is definitely a great place to spend your weekend
or afternoon brushing up on skills or learning some new ones.
