I have been part of the Blue Lotus community for many years. It is a beautiful community and fully inclusive. Buddhism is a practice of mindfulness and compassion. If you want to be embraced by a spiritual community as you learn meditation and how to eliminate suffering while being a vessel of joy and peace you definitely should visit.
Nice place, very serene with helpful people. My son and I were in town for the day and found it in an old Presbyterian Church. He wanted to go look around. It was nice and one of the members was he randomly stopped was happy to spend the next 10-15 minutes explaining Buddhism to him.
Outstanding visit
The most welcoming and loving place you can imagine. The Monks and Nun are full of kindness and compassion that just simply radiates from them. No matter what your religious background or beliefs, the Blue Lotus never challenges or questions them in any way. The teachings are about universal love, kindness and compassion for all beings, and the connectedness that we each have to one another. Just a beautiful place!
If we lived in the area we'd definitely be going back.
A very special place. Highly recommend participating in the meditation sessions - newcomers are welcome. (It is not necessary to sit on the floor - chairs are available.)
