About Blue Lotus

As an answer to the question “Where does one go to learn about Buddhist teachings and obtain the Jewel of Sangha in the McHenry County area” Blue Lotus Temple was opened in Woodstock. The temple blends Eastern and Western cultures in a format that helps to aid us in our quest to lead more balanced and harmonious with ourselves within the framework of our American lives.

A group of people with diverse backgrounds, different faiths and unique talents join together oner one roof for meditation, chants, Dharma discussions, and retreats.

Blue Lotus Temple meditation groups meet regularly at the Congregational Unitarian Church of Woodstock, as well as several other locations in Crystal Lake, Geneva, Palatine and Lake Geneva (Wisconsin). Detailed schedules and special announcements can be found on our calendar page.
