Buddhism in Uganda: In April 2005, the Venerable Bhikkhu Buddharakkhita who is a Ugandan by nationality and the first  Buddhist monk in Uganda introduced Buddhism in the country. Currently, there are Fourteen Ugandans who have already converted to Buddhism and taken the 5 precepts. Besides, there are traditional Buddhists: Five Thais, one Burmese and forty-five Sri Lankans who live in Uganda. We are still establishing the first Buddhist Temple in Uganda. We hope that the Temple will serve the spiritual needs of the Buddhist communities in Uganda and other African countries.
