The library has been fully supportive of religious or cultural studies by all the schools and social and religious groups of the Greater Chicago Area. Over the years, students, faculties, and parents from many high schools, universities, colleges, and graduate schools have visited the library and participated in the Sunday practices and lunch-time Dharma talks. The most recent two visits were on November 14 and 21. One group included students, professors, and staff members from Lewis University in Romeoville, IL, and the other included students and parents from Naperville Central High school.

They all participated in the Sunday morning practice. During the silent interval between the first and second meditation courses, Director Lin explained to them the meaning of chanting Amitabha Buddha's name and why we chant his name. After the practice, they all joined us for lunch and the Dharma talks, which Bert Tan translated. After both visits, some of the visitors remained and asked Bert about some details of the practice in order to understand it better.
