Buddharama Temple

Buddharama Temple, Buddhist temple in Åsele Municipality, Sweden.

Description

Buddharama Temple is a Buddhist temple compound near Fredrika village with water supply, sewerage, and broadband infrastructure throughout the grounds. The site features an 8-meter Buddha statue and two marble elephants positioned on the property.

History

Construction began in 2004 as an ambitious project to create one of Europe's largest Buddhist temple structures. The initiative reflected the growing influence of Eastern religions in Scandinavia during the early 21st century.

Culture

This temple serves as a meeting place for Thai Buddhist communities throughout northern Europe seeking to practice Theravada traditions. The site reflects how Eastern spiritual practices have found a home in Scandinavian landscapes and communities.

Practical

The temple provides parking facilities designed to accommodate around 450 vehicles for visitors. The site is accessible by car from larger towns, and the grounds are well-equipped with modern utilities.

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.
