Hi, is the Buddist Temple in Fohnau, Berlin open for visits yet? I hope to go there on a Tuesday in October.

Have you tried looking at their website for the most up to date information?

Yes, I have tried the webiste, sent an email and tried to contact them via Facebook. No response. I am not sure how up to date the website is.

Well, they do have a big red post-lockdown note on the front page of their website saying they welcome us back, and an event coming up in October. So wouldn't that seem like they are open?

Yes, it would seem so. But it will be quite out of my way to go there, so I was hoping for confirmation from someone who has been there, and also maybe about specific dates and times that they are open. No harm in checking to make sure, is there?

Oh, absolutely not. My reply was just meant as an answer to your "I am not sure how up to date the website is." We can say that it's at least not pre-Covid.

I found the website a bit confusing: the mention of an event in October, though I am not sure if the actual events are virtual. Then, under the information tab, the posting of daily meditation hours, which made me think they may be open to visitors for meditation.

On their contact tab, they have a webform/email tool which may get more attention than from Facebook (where postings seem to be from July). Maybe give that a try? Good Luck.
