An unexpected and pleasant find while visiting Bloomington for the first time. We spent about one and half hour there. Serene and beautiful!

Very nice calm space. Participate in the classes for a full experience

I loved this place. So serene and helped my mental health. The gift store is beautiful,feels like I am in Dharamsala. The lotus pond is nice, be careful of wildlifes. The temple wasnt open, hope to visit it when it opens again. Beautiful place

Amazing! The gift shop had tons of beautiful pieces of artwork.

Very interesting..has peaked my interest even more at the culture and beliefs..

Absolutely lovely and the monks are amazing when you get to know them :)

Nice place

Beautiful grounds!! Have been visiting recently. The stupas are beautiful, and wonderful to walk around to generate merit for oneself and others.

It was mostly closed due to covid. Wonderful outdoor places to walk. Peaceful energy. Amazing to be able to turn prayer wheels.

Quiet. That is the literal essence of this place, and you really cant find a place like it. The monks and those who care for the ground are great people, and everyone is interested in continuing to progress down the path of enlightenment and self betterment. Give it a try for certain; even if it doesnt end up being your thing, I severely doubt anyone could ever have a poor time here. Zen and Buddhism done right, in the Midwest of the U.S. . Who would have ever thought?

Spent an afternoon here with my family. It was beautiful, educational, and peaceful. Go when not in a hurry.

Amazing no words to describe. Must experience it for yourself

A beautiful, tranquil, and picturesque place to visit.

Temple is still closed but the gift shop and grounds are open. Very peaceful.

Always nice to visit! Some lovely walking trails around as well. Some of the markers were a little hard to see, but we had gone shortly after a bunch of leaves had fallen so thats just a part of living in the natural world.Great place to visit in the spring to look at the pond!

Love this place, quiet and peaceful.

Love it. We enjoyed the learn experience. Cant wait to return when everything is open.

Very nice. Beautiful. Relaxing. Quiet.

Peaceful setting. Beautiful display of work. Great weekend getaway.

The chief of the temple was one of top 3 most influential religious leaders back in China ( Qing hai) in 1990s according to a video on YouTube. The temple will / should be a well known site soon in the states /Canada. I am sure!

Beautiful and peaceful. Husband and I learned to play the bowls by gift shop owner, we had a great time.

Nice people. Beautiful scenario. Calm.

I visited while it was closed but I still felt the spiritual essence of the environment. Will look forward to visiting while its open.

This is one of the most peaceful places I have ever visited. I meditated under a tree here and it was a beautiful experience.

Beautiful scenery and an open atmosphere. Everyone is extremely polite, accepting, and kind; even if you are not a follower of the faith. If you are looking for a peaceful place to get away, this is it.

We found this little gem while visiting Bloomington and found it too be fascinating, educational and beautiful. My daughter was having a rough morning and after spending a couple of hours here meditating, walking around and enjoying the grounds she was in a much calmer state of mind. We would go again just to sit, think and pray.

Brought my friend from out of town here for a different experience in Bloomington.The monastery is beautiful and peaceful. The employees/workers are very friendly in the gift shop. The grounds are beautiful to walk around on a summer day.A lovely and peaceful get-away from the town. There are several beautiful pieces to check out and offer opportunities to learn about Tibetan culture.

Profoundly peaceful on the grounds.

Amazing place. You need to go and meditate.

Such a peaceful and tranquil place thats a great center for learning. Took a day trip here as a small getaway and I was not disappointed, the monks are super nice as well when we thought we were intruding on something they were doing, they encouraged us to sit with them and we were given a small talk on the history of the Temple and the ideology of Buddhism itself. Really cool place to go and see if youre stuck in Indiana and want to go somewhere thats different.

Very peaceful place to just walk around and pray.

Beautiful shrines!

This is a sacred space that is open to people of all beliefs and paths of life. All are welcome to walk around and look at all the Tibetan symbology and take in their culture. The grounds are beautiful. Theres an excellent traditional Tibetan cultural gift shop on site. Definitely worth taking an hour or two on a nice day to walk around and take it all in

Went to thrive in love couples retreat on the valentines weekend. Great place. Really tranquil.

Serene

One of the most beautiful properties Ive seen in Indiana. Its so peaceful and a wonderful place to just let lifes stresses release your body and soul.Ill definitely be visiting a lot more often.

Unique cultural landmark in southern Indiana. The monks are welcoming and informative. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in the Bloomington area.

What a neat place! I passed this place while doing a delivery so I didnt get to see everything. I would love to go back there soon and see everything that I missed!

Beautiful place

Amazingly peaceful and restorative. Would have been nice to have a guide to explain the meaning and symbolism behind all the elaborate artwork, statues, paintings and trinkets.

I love this place! So peaceful and serene :)Very rejuvenating and relaxing weekend.

The Tibetan Center is one of the most peaceful, beautiful, energizing places I love to experience when I visit Indiana. I highly recommend walking the path lined with prayer flags and putting your prayers in the prayer wheels. I soak up the healing vibes and always feel better when I leave

Interesting place to visit, attend a prayer reading and then take the very short tour.

We had a wonderful experience here. Came doe a retreat and stayed on the property. Absolutely worth it. It is such a peaceful place

It is so peaceful and amazing and all around beautiful place I absolutely 💗 me and my husband love this monastery

Absolutely beautiful

After I arrived late, the owner was kind and understanding and helped change planswith a positive attitude! I could not have asked for a better experience! They are fulfilling the practice of the teachings in everyday life! Such a beautiful center, thank you again!!

Beautiful place! Loved it. And this is coming from an atheist. 😉

Beautiful and peaceful

If you are interested in entering a serene sanctuary of both natural and spiritual wonders, drive through and stop to explore the structures and perhaps the got shop at your leisure.

I meditate here as often as I can. It is the most peaceful and calming space.

Vary nice environment there made us feel much more relaxed and rested after spending some time walking part of the property.

A delightful place to walk, pray, and enjoy nature. Im really looking forward to booking one of their yurts one day for a vacation.

Very impressive, and quiet. The Happy Yak Gift Shop is small, but loaded with many Tibetan items for sale. It is a Dont Miss, if you are visiting Bloomington!

Beautiful grounds. Very peaceful and informative.

Had a 2 day Reiki Workshop. It was fall time beautiful outdoors with the changing color of the leaves. The grounds and statutes were well kept. The gift shop had a wide variety of items. The interior of learning centee was extremely clean and beautiful decorated.

Beautiful

Lovely, kind people who will talk to others about their culture and their religion. Natural settings to sit and to be one with nature.

Interesting place in the middle of nowhere put up by Dalai Lamas brother. It is very cool to experience the cultures of Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhism. Its a very peaceful place in Bloomington.

Very quiet & peaceful - great place to collect yourself and take a walk!

Relaxing environment. Must see

Fantastic place to eat. Food and customer service is wonderful.

Very cool. Make sure your stop in if in Bloomington

A lovely experience and something so out of the ordinary to find in the Midwest. Do be sure to take some time to be part of their classes or workshops! :)

Warm, loving spot. The people are kind. Peaceful grounds.

It was Really great experience to be here today....we meet few great peoples,they are truly honest and helpfull...visiting this place makes my day...

NO review at this time ... only a message.LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE I WRITE ... INTO HOAGLAND DID ARRIVE ...A monkey carrying a great message of importance did arrive into the foreign tribe with the message. The monkey understood this tribe to be nearly blind and so used simple vibrations to get their attention. The foreign tribe recognized the vibrations and were stunned and frightened and instead of listening to the message ran off the foreign monkey. The monkey is a man coming into other men, who are so blind and yet so simple, they have even in their blindness on the spot, banned simple monkey language. Awake to truth ... INTO YOUR TEMPLE DID ARRIVE ... a monkey with message of great important. And so was ejected this monkey.  Let truth be spoken. Satnam.CALL TOGETHER YOUR LEADERS ... LISTEN TO, SEE, INTEPRET THIS MESSAGE OF IMPORTANCE ... or send me away like your brothers ... so that I might find humans who dont just pretend to be on the path of enlightenment but who are ...

Upkeep can get lax at times but I understand since no additional monks reside there.

People there are very kind and welcoming. I loved it!

Its very peaceful and calming.

What a beautiful place to experience.

Love this place, looking forward to visit again.

This is my favorite place to connect with people and my spirit. On sunday morningsand Wednesday evenings there are teachings (dharmas), afterwards if you wish therr is a break for lunch which is sometimes served at the monastery. dharma runs an hour and a half ,. lunch about the same. Last there is a prayer session with the monks beautiful, musical, relaxing, chanting.The enlightening lesson and conversation with those attending always restores my sense of balance ,if Ive been over taxed and stressed this experience refreshes me. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, there is no charge for being a part of this experience. Check ot out.😉

Very beautiful aesthetic and great religious development

Had a great time...Bloomington beat kept secret

Absolutely beautiful! Such a serene place, and the monks are incredibly friendly and welcoming!

Not bad for a place to retreat and meditate. The hiking trail was not well kept and the doors on our cottage didnt lock, but other than that it was a good experience

Nice place to visit in Bloomington!

Awesome the place is just no words that can describe that place.

I absolutely love this Center!

Very peaceful and nice place!

Two stupas, Buddhist temple, retreat lodging and a gift shop. The Center is close to Monroe lake.
