Buddharama Temple, Planned Buddhist temple near Fredrika, Åsele Municipality, Sweden

Buddharama Temple is a planned Theravada Buddhist temple near Fredrika in Åsele Municipality. The temple building itself, planned at 300 square metres, has not been started; on the grounds stand an 8-metre Buddha statue on a pedestal, a 4.5-metre statue of the monk Luang Pu Thuat, two marble elephants and two small houses.

The project began in 2004 when Phra Boonthin, abbot of Buddharama Temple Sweden, envisioned a large temple in Fredrika after visiting a Thai resident there. In 2005 the municipality agreed to fund water, sewer and broadband, and Bert-Rune Dahlberg helped find the site. Groundwork and a 4.5-metre statue of Luang Pu Thuat followed in 2006, an 8-metre Buddha statue in 2007, and two marble elephants in 2008.

The temple is named after the Thai term "wat" and is linked to Buddharama Temple Sweden, whose main temple in Värmdö was too small for large gatherings. A 2015 scholarly article noted that a small temple building nearby, Wat Buddharama Fredrika, housed one monk. The site is intended to serve Buddhists from across Europe.

The temple building itself has not been started; what exists on site are the statues, two small houses and the utilities the municipality paid for in 2005. The planned 450-car parking lot and 700-800 seat conference hall were part of the original, since abandoned, design. The site lies about 100 km west of Umeå, near Fredrika in Åsele Municipality.

A 4.5-meter statue of venerated monk Luang Pu Thuat stands on the grounds, embodying the deep connection between Sweden and Thailand. This figure often goes unnoticed by many visitors but tells the spiritual story behind the temple's creation.
