The Dalai Lama’s brother used to be a professor at IU, and there is a consecrated temple just outside of town as a side effect. The 109 acre grounds are well worth a visit. Peace and zen confusion abound.

Though I have been to Bloomington many many times since graduating in 1995, I had never been to visit. It was nice to experience a new aspect of Bloomington with Romey…especially right on the heels of our visit to Japan and its many shrines.
