Wat Dhammaram
Wat Dhammaram was listed as a Theravada Khmer Buddhist temple in Waialua, on Oʻahu, Hawaii.[1] It was also known as Watt Khmer Dhammaram of Hawaii, the Cambodian Dhammaram Temple and Dhammaram Asrama.[2]
History
Temple News dated the temple's establishment to April 25, 2007. It listed the address as 67067 A, Kaleohanui Street, Waialua, HI 96791, and the website as www.dhammaram.info.[1] The Cambodian-American Buddhist Association of Hawaii (CABAH) spelled the street Kaelohanui and placed the temple across the street from the Waialua High School basketball court.[2][3]
On Sunday, July 12, 2009, the association's board invited members and guests to the temple for Bon Chol Preah Vasa, the start of the Buddhist Lent. Guests arrived at 9 a.m. to worship the Triple Gem, observe the five precepts, offer food to the monks, meditate and dedicate merit, and everyone shared lunch at noon.[2]

The association's blog carries the temple's name and invited members and guests to a Buddhist Lent ceremony at the temple on July 12, 2009. The source does not state whether the association operated or owned the temple; no such role is inferred.
