Preah Buddha Rangsey Temple
Preah Buddha Rangsey Temple, also spelled Phra Buddha Ransi Temple, is a Cambodian Theravada Buddhist temple located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2004, the Khmer Buddhist Humanitarian Association relocated the temple to the dilapidated St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, which was built in 1903. The temple also managed to acquire a vacant synagogue across the street, that serves as a crematory.[1]
