Lumbini Buddhist Temple - Chua Lam Ty Ni — Attraction in Lawrence

I first visited the temple eagerly wanting to learn how to achieve inner peace and awareness of mind and body. I was completely ignored and felt unwelcome. I approached one of the monks and was quickly turned away. After some time passed I called and explained that I had great interest in learning from them. I was coldly told that they were starting a class in August and they took my name and number. At the end of August I haven't heard anything from them so I called again. Again, very coldly was told they would be starting a class "soon" and they took my name and number. 10 months later I still haven't heard from them. I now feel the temple is nothing more than a fancy building and I have strayed far away from their teachings as possible as I would never like to be remotely like them. Looking back I laugh at silly way they dress and feel maybe they need to leave their (hangout) temple and learn people skills.

Place was a beautiful old style building, you feel like your in ancient China and I thought I had to pay to get in but it was free. A nice old man who was very respectable to me as I was to him and he offered me some food but I declined then he offered free coffee and I grabbed it faster than he could catch his next breath. Anyways I took pics of the place which they didn't mind so ho honestly I definitely recommend checking it out i tell you that you'll feel full of peace while you're here and like me while you're getting ready to leave you'll notice the panhandlers getting ready on what sad story to give you on why you should spare them your loose change. .....

You will always be welcome in this place by kind and friendly Buddhist people. It is a great place for helping others for...
