Located adjacent to CMU on its western side, the temple has been under the university’s patronage since 1969. CMU has continuously supported its development, and the temple serves as an important venue for Buddhist ceremonies and religious activities for the university community and the public, including Visakha Bucha, Makha Bucha, Asalha Bucha, and the beginning of Buddhist Lent.
