Wat Buddha Oregon

Wad Buddhawararam, the Thai Buddhist Temple of Oregon State is an Oregon State religious noprofit corporation officially formed on 11-25-97, approved for tax exemption under 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The primary purpose of the corporation is to establish and provide a facility for teaching and practicing Buddhism and meditation which currently under the direction of Ven. Samruay Deemun.

The temple is situated on a 2.5 acre parcel of woodland with good visibility and easy access from I-5, next to the Exchanted Forest along the I-5 corridor south of Salem.

Like most dreams, it has only become a reality due to the hard work, persistence and generosity of both Thai and non Thai communities of Oregon. This temple not only represents the religious center for all of the Thai people of Oregon but also their desire to share the best of an over two thousand year old culture and heritage with their fellow Oregonians.

In the fast paced times with questionable priorities in which we all live a center dedicated to helping us all become more enlightened, compassionate and caring human being according to the principle of Buddhism which is probably one of the most rewarding endeavors and you can choose to be a part of in this life time.

Again, we would like to thank everyone for your generous contribution and support for this project. Without your help it would have remained only a dream.
