History

On October 3, 1976, a Buddhist Council called the Indonesian Buddhist Dhamma Pandita Council (MAPANBUDHI) was established in Bandung. A few years later, the name was changed to the Indonesian Theravada Buddhist Council (MAGABUDHI).

Theravada Buddhists in Bandung then did not have a temple, so every meeting and worship service always moved. Finally, on February 23, 1992, the groundbreaking ceremony for constructing the Vipassana Graha was held.
