-The Red Lotus Temple Message
Board-
The Order of the Red Lotus Temple has
openly taught martial arts, health exercises, and Buddhism since 1991
starting in Mid-Ohio. Since that time, we have extended into Maryland
and 3 schools across Ohio. Both martial arts and Buddhism are vehicles
of self transformation, empowerment, and bridges to unify the mind and body
as one. The Temple's philosophy is one which stands to help those in need
who desire to transform their lives with these tools. Each individual's
potential is taught to surface through the martial disciplines as well as
with the teachings of the Lord Buddha. This website is a dedication to
perpetuate the teachings and traditions of the Red Lotus Order.
The Temple is under directorship of
Reverend Alan Cicco.

The Martial Arts and Health Exercises
of the Temple are based off Chinese and Tibetan. Students learn all
forms of skill needed in self defense as well as self discipline. We
offer various days through the week for group classes and private lessons
too. Just follow the links above to
martial arts, days available,
and prices.
Buddhism began in
India, 5th century BC, arising out of the teachings of Shakyamuni Gotama,
an India prince. Through intense meditation, study, and life altering
experiences, he founded the Path of practice which has become one of the 5
main world "religions" of modern day. Though it is
called Buddhism, it was originally called the Middle Way (between
extremes of self denying asceticism and hedonism or worldliness).
This Path later evolved to grant practitioners a multifaceted approach to
their spiritual and religious life with a basis not in fanaticism nor
dogma.
