Covid-19 Update
In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, Chicago Buddhist Vihara has adopted policies recommended by Illinois Department of Health and CDC. The Health and safety of our members and monks are our utmost priority. Please read below carefully for guidelines.
Dana Procedure (Effective July 1st)
Friends who bring food to the temple on a monthly basis may bring in food for the Hamuduruwo if you chose to from July 1st onwards. However, we expect to be responsible and follow all the guidelines set forth by the CDC and the State of Illinois.
- Please make sure all the sanitary procedures are followed including face masks
- Please comply with all the social distancing protocols
- Minimize the number of people visiting at a time
- Make sure to clean your hands
Please make sure to bring Dane in disposable containers or ZipLock bags as much as possible to avoid returning of containers
Please note that due to health concerns, we continue to discourage restaurant deliveries and/or by third parties. Thank you for your understanding.
