The Wat Dhammararam Buddhist Temple was established in 1982 as the Theravada Buddhist Temple by Cambodian refugees who resettled in Stockton to escape their war-torn homes. As they integrated into American society and rebuilt their lives, there was a need for them to preserve their culture and so, the temple was created. Since its formation, the Wat Dhammararam Buddhist Temple has continued to serve the Cambodian community in and around Stockton with programs, meditations, and other events. The temple, which is open to everyone throughout the year, is filled with nearly 100 colorful, larger-than-life jewel-encrusted statues which depict and celebrate the life of the Cambodian Buddha.
