I've only been on the outside but would love to see the inside. It's a clean unique place.

This colorful Buddhist Temple sits in the middle of a neighborhood. Found on a roadside attraction site, we definitely would have never come across it otherwise. Very colorful and a definite fun site to see!

A writer wrote this Buddhist temple is a site to behold. If you say so. This looks more like a dollhouse, very small, that no one is allow to go in, because it's too sacred. They hold services in another building on the property. I question if they are open to everyone and every culture. I went there last year really looking to see if there might be some spiritual answers and started asking questions while the members were all hanging out on the complex. Everyone was Asian. When I let them know I was interested in attending a meeting or gathering, they directed me to another Buddhist temple out in the southeast area somewhere making it clear I wasn't wanted. I.m black and I don't think they want black people there which is weird and terrible because this place is located in a very difficult and struggling area of Columbus and clearly, they don't reach out to the locals who actually live their. Everyone there looked like they came from another neighborhood. It's so unfortunate that so many religious organizations, buildings, are located in poorer neighborhoods while the members all come from some where else. But, Instead of relocating to where they live, they import their people in and leave out to their homes. Doesn't seem to matter: Christians Buddhists, Moslems, they all do it this way
