The first Burmese Buddhist monastery in Finland was officially consecrated in Kuopio on 3 January by five monks led by Penang abbot U Pannya Wuntha and abbot U Uttara of London’s Sasana Ramsi Vihara.
The Buddha Dhamma Ramsi monastery was set up by Burmese Buddhists living in Finland with the help of the abbots, according to monastery secretary Kyaw Htay.
"A monk who is currently serving in London will come to reside here and we are expecting another from the foreign missionary board,” he said.
“We have agreed to see to their material needs."
Kyaw Htay said around 300 people took part in the ceremony, which marked the culmination of more than three years’ work.
