Located on Menomonee Street, the Temple was founded in 1944 as one of the Midwest\u2019s first Buddhist temples. Many of the original members were Japanese-Americans moving east after leaving World War II internment camps. Midwest Buddhist Temple moved to its current location in 1971, just blocks from its original site. The facility has a diverse, dedicated following and features classic architecture and historic artifacts. Also known as the Temple of Enlightenment, it is a widely recognized Old Town landmark. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1558586833250{padding-top: 3% !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77361″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77360″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][vc_single_image image=”77359″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ icons_position=”left”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_custom_heading text=”Check It Out” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1558586884733{border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-color: #0094c3 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_text]Address:<\/strong>
