Directory of Lao Buddhist temples (wats) located outside Laos |
|||
"Wherever there's a Lao wat, there's
a Lao community dedicated to preserving and practicing
Buddhist precepts."
Traditionally, the majority of Lao-speaking people have been Theravada
Buddhists. In recent years,
Lao Buddhist temples (wats) have sprung
up around the world to care for the spiritual needs
of Lao immigrants. Below is a directory of known
Lao Buddhist temples and their locations. Buddhist
temples welcome all seekers of knowledge regardless of ethnic
background. Of course, no directory of this nature can ever be completely current or error-free. Phone numbers have been verified wherever possible using online phone directories such as InfoSpace and Google. However, it's probably a good idea to call before visiting a wat in a different community, just to be sure it hasn't moved recently. We solicit your help in keeping this directory accurate and up-to-date. Please send comments, additions, corrections and internet addresses for any temples you know of to byblos@andiamo-tel.com. This list is arranged alphabetically by U.S. state, followed by names of other nations.
