Built in 1980, using traditional Thai architecture, for the purpose of teaching Theravada Buddhism, the Buddhapadipa Temple is a complex of buildings set in four acres of parkland and is one of only two outside Asia. The interior walls have excellent mural paintings by Thai artists, depicting aspects of the Buddha's life.
