Wat Buddharangsi Melbourne (វត្តពុទ្ធរង្សី)
Affectionately known in our community as Wat Thom — the Big Temple, Wat Buddharangsi is a Khmer Buddhist temple in Springvale South and a place where Khmer people have long come together in Melbourne. Sometimes searched for as Wat Tom Melbourne or Wat Khmer Melbourne, the temple is a place of faith, culture, heritage and community. Through this website, we hope to connect generations — a place to discover our Khmer heritage, learn simple Buddhist chanting, explore the Buddha’s teachings, and keep our faith, culture and community connected.
