| "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.
We thank you byblos@andiamo-tel.com for help in keeping this directory accurate and up-to-date.
