A welcoming space for cultural preservation, community connection, and spiritual growth.

About us

Wat Lao Buddha Khanti is a Lao Buddhist temple and cultural center serving the greater Atlanta community since 1989. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha and the rich traditions of Lao heritage, our temple offers a welcoming space for spiritual growth, cultural preservation, and community connection.

We are a community of families, monks, and supporters dedicated to cultivating compassion, mindfulness, and harmony in daily life. Through religious ceremonies, cultural events, and educational programs, Wat Lao Buddha Khanti continues to honor our founders’ vision — to be a home where Lao traditions thrive, and where all are invited to learn, reflect, and find peace together.
