Buddhist temple

A Buddhist temple is a spiritual center where practitioners gather for prayer, meditation, and rituals to develop mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom. It often features statues of the Buddha and other respected figures, along with spaces for teaching and community activities. Temples serve as places for personal reflection and communal practice, fostering a deeper understanding of Buddhist teachings. They can vary in architecture and traditions across cultures but universally function as sacred sites guiding followers on their spiritual journey.
