I am Ilcho SunimI am here because I love Lotus Lantern Int’l Meditation Center
and I want to tell you why. I’ve been with the center since 1998.
What is Lotus Lantern?How is it different?
“Lotus Lantern is a quieter temple than most, with lots of time given
to independent cultivation.
Monks and laypeople from different countries gather in harmony to practice
Seon meditation together.
We offer the best circumstances for participants to experience
Korean Buddhist culture.
Our HistoryOur founder, Weon Myeong Sunim,
had a vision to promote Korean Buddhism worldwide.
