From the seed of an idea amongst some residents of Bandar Utama grew a project to build a centre for Buddhist practice to serve the new township. To take on the project, Bandar Utama Buddhist Society was registered on 28 March 2000. As a Buddhist society guided by the Theravada Buddhist tradition, BUBS teach and practise the Buddha-Dhamma as recorded in the Pali Canon. Our activities are steered b

y our vision of developing Dhamma-inspired members and propagating the Buddha-Dhamma in the community. Our tagline “A family that prays together stays together” aptly encapsulates our aspiration of providing a conducive place for Buddhist families, the old and the young, to congregate and grow in the Dhamma.
