Buddhist Temple Tour of Milwaukee
Get answers to your questions on a Buddhist temple tour of Milwaukee. It’s a first-hand introduction to names, places, and faces. We carpool to the east side of Milwaukee to learn about Zen meditation at a Zen center. Next we visit a Tibetan Buddhist site to learn about an esoteric form of Buddhism
that is growing in popularity. Then we travel to the south side to visit a Theravada Buddhist temple operated by the Lao community, then onto a Mahayana temple operated by Vietnamese Buddhists. Finally we examine Nichiren Buddhism at a Japanese Soka Gakkai center on the west side. Along the way we will enjoy fellowship at a fine Asian restaurant while dining on delicious Asian cuisine. If you’ve ever been interested in exploring Buddhist temples, a meditation center, or Zendos near you, now is your chance. There is no pressure to join the religion, only an opportunity to expand your horizons. Learn about the history of Buddhism in Milwaukee. Talk to Buddhist masters, enjoy insights into enlightenment, bring a friend and satisfy your spirit with a caravan through the Pure Land. Lunch included!
