- To be a center for religious meetings and solemn ceremonies.

- To be a center of Thai arts, culture and tradition.

Background:

During the year 2005 Mrs. Eh and her husband Stein gave 5 hectares in northern Rörum for a temple building. However, lack of municipal water and sanitation would incur additional costs if we were to build there.

In 2006, we found out that this property, owned by a Thai / Swedish family, was for sale. We saw the opportunity to create a temple in southern Sweden. Therefore it was decided to purchase the property.

The temple has been rebuilt by Thai Buddhists, and their partners living in southern Sweden. We have received help from the monks of Wat Pa in Copenhagen under the direction of AbbotPhar Kru Somsak, who holds the strings.

Wat Sanghabaramee will be one of the Thai-Buddhist temples in Europe that can receive diplomatic monks (Dhamma Yot) from Thailand.

Wat Sanghabaramee is led by Prakro Sangkharag Tongchai Suphachayo, since October 19, 2006.
