The Buddhist Temple of Chicago

1151 W. Leland Ave.
Chicago, IL 60640
Phone: 773-334-4661
Click address above for map. If you are driving, due to the one-way roads in the area, it's easier to navigate to the parking lot at 4639 N Racine.

Service is in English and is held on Sundays at 11 am (except on Labor Day weekend). See the Calendar and our Facebook page for classes and special events. Parking is available in our small lot at 4639 N. Racine, a one-way street best accessed off Wilson. There is free street parking in the neighborhood west of the temple (but not on Racine, which is permit parking). We are one block from the Wilson red line station and near the Broadway, Clark, Lawrence, and Montrose bus lines.
