    Baha'i House of Worship - Built in the 50s

    Truly a remarkably tranquil and beautiful house of worship. The gardens are lovely, especially in…read morespring and summer. The welcome center has a lot of useful literature on the Baha'i faith, and it's wonderful to learn more about this incredibly inclusive and peaceful religion, and saddening to hear about the persecution of Baha'i people. I've visited the Lotus Baha'i temple in Delhi before, and the building in Chicago is significantly smaller and less of an architectural marvel. However, unlike the temple in Delhi, the house of worship in Chicago is not a tourist destination. This allows for more serene contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The Baha'i hous of worship is easily accessible by public transport and also has ample parking. The restrooms in the welcome center are spotless. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the House of Worship. It's not a typical tourist destination, but is instead truly a place for contemplation and silence.

    One word: GO! This is the perfect way to spend an hour in…read morethe area. The temple is free to visit every day from 10 A.M. - six P.M. The house of worship includes a temple, gardens, and a Welcome Center. The welcome center has restrooms, a bookstore, and a mini museum filled with pictures and plaques explaining the Baha'i faith and its history throughout the world. Since I visited on a Sunday, I decided to attend the half hour service, so I could see the inside of the temple. The walls are the same color white as The outside and religious scripts are written across the walls in English and Arabic.

    For the Lunar New Year, upon our parents request my friend and I blistered this snow storm and…read morevisited some temples for the new year to pray for a great 2014. I heard about this temple briefly from an elderly man I met on a flight to Chicago from California. This temple was easy to find, but there isnt much content about it online, so i'm glad i'm creating a search for this temple on yelp!! From the outside the temple looks very plain, but instead its a huge eye opener! It has a huge praying room and an individual room for those who recently passed away. In addition to the praying rooms, in the back theres a mini school where Sunday school is held to learn to speak/read/write Vietnamese, martial arts, lion dance and traditional dance. A great community center with a lot of amenities and resources for all ages. Since it is the Lunar New Year, the temple has been cooking all weekend long vegetarian and vegan food for all the guest. Best part, its all free!!! I stuffed my face with delicious veggie noodle soup, tofu, veggies and desserts! I was informed that every Sunday from 11am (after the second praying session) until they close they offer free food for all attendees, but this weekend due to the special occasion its going on all weekend. All of the people here at the temple were SOOOO FRIENDLY! A lot of them made an effort to converse with us. They also gave us a tour and prayed with us individually. This temple has a true sense of family. I think I found my resident temple between the two temples I went to today! CHUC MUNG NAM MOI!

    I am a long time student and supporter of Taigen (Roshi). We first me in San Francisco around 2001…read morewhen I began sitting with his Sangtha. It is difficult to describe in words how important Taigen and his Sangha were to me then. My beloved father died in 2004 and I recall how supportive the Sangha was at that time. I guess you might say that Taigen was just the right teacher at the right time. I recall how impressed I was with Taigen's sincerity and passion for Soto Zen. Taigen helped to firmly shift my mind in the direction of the Dharma. It should also be noted that Taigen is considered one of the great contributors to the academic study of Dogen in the West.

    It feels a little funny giving a Buddhist temple a yelp review.... but here goes…read more I practiced here for more than 7 or so years and I would consider myself a former student. I very dearly miss the company of the people I practiced with at ADZG and I remember my time with them fondly. I came to ADZG a confused young man and I left a confused older man. If you're looking for a place that will fix you you're looking in the wrong place. Over the course of my attendance the guiding teacher spent countless hours with me answering my questions and at times showed greater concern for my well being than I had shown for myself. He is not perfect, he has things to work on and it's important to note that we all do. I'm not trying to minimize or maximize his benevolence and every person who enters ADZG will have a different experience of him. My ask, if I can make a request, is that you enter this space with your eyes open and your ears ready. This place may not be for you. You may run away after your first visit. But, please do not take any review of this place as the definition. Our age is poisoned by politics and partisanship. I've heard the guiding teacher make political statements during talks and I believe he should stop that immediately. But he's not a bad person and the people who go to ADZG are not in a cult. Zen isn't a leftist movement and if you're a more conservative person this practice is for you too.
