The Blue Temple was founded on October 27, 2005, and was completed on January 22, 2016. It spans 6 acres. The blue color symbolizes the Dharma, the Lord Buddha’s code of moral virtue, spreading across the world like the bright blue sky. This temple showcases contemporary Buddhist art that reflects the Lord Buddha’s teachings. The concept encourages Buddhists to revisit and study the Dharma to apply it in their daily lives and for those seeking to escape the cycle of existence, known as “The 4 Noble Truths,” gospel truth, and the Eightfold Path (the path leading to the cessation of suffering).
