The Watt Munisotaram is a Cambodian Buddhist temple in Hampton, Minnesota, about thirty minutes south of the Twin Cities. The community and the corresponding organization, the Minnesota Cambodian Buddhist Society, was established in 1982. But it was not until 2007 that they consecreated a much larger temple on their 40 acres of land. The consecration ceremony welcomed thousands, a signal of this temple’s importance to both Cambodian and non-Cambodian Theravada Buddhists in Minnesota, the Midwest, and the entire United States.
