Nan Hua Temple, Buddhist temple in Bronkhorstspruit, South Africa.

Nan Hua Temple stands in the Cultura Park suburb of Bronkhorstspruit, where a wide paved plaza leads to a temple hall with an orange-brown hipped roof and a lower roof tier beneath it. Dark red columns and dark rectangular openings line the facade, and a low white balustrade runs along the front, with a pale stone staircase rising between white carved posts. A dark metal incense burner with a small matching roof stands before the steps, and grass borders the paving.

The complex originated in 1992 through a land donation from Bronkhorstspruit City Council and opened officially in 2005. The development took many years and established it as the largest Buddhist center in sub-Saharan Africa.

The three Buddhas on the main hall's altar were made with dark skin, a choice honouring South Africa's majority population so that Buddhism would take root locally. Since 2001 the temple has held a Chinese cultural carnival at Lunar New Year, and it keeps a columbarium where ashes can be placed or kept temporarily.

The main temple, guesthouse, African Buddhist Seminary and Nan Hua Village stand together in Cultura Park, off the N4 east of Bronkhorstspruit. The Pureland Ch'an retreat centre lies about 1.5 km from the main temple and holds retreats for beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners, monastic or lay, of any religion or nationality.

The three Buddhas in the main hall were made with dark skin, a deliberate choice to reflect South Africa's majority population and help Buddhism take root locally. The site also holds a columbarium where ashes can be buried or kept temporarily.
