Abstract
After learning about the holy doctrine and scriptures of many east Asian religions, I settled on learning more about Buddhism through visitation and study of the Buddhist Temple of Chicago. There is a particular focus on the practice and personal faith of each specific individual and the relationships between the individual, Buddhism, and Chicago/the US. I dive into the history of the temple and how it has grown to be a core factor in the community.
