Brahma Vihara Arama is beautiful monastery and the largest Buddhist Temple in Bali with numerous meditation rooms, libraries, beautiful garden, and an impressive mini replica of the world’s largest Buddhist archeological site, Borobudur on its highest grounds. This place is better known as Banjar Buddhist Temple because of its location in Banjar Village, Buleleng. This monastery is located in the hill of Tegehe area, Banjar Sub district, 22 kilometers west of Singaraja and 11 kilometers from Lovina.
In addition to Buddhist worship places, this temple is also a place to meditate. When you are facing to the north, then you will mesmerize with the beautiful scenery of the north Bali Sea, plantation area, and rice paddies from altitude. This monastery only has a small mount of Buddhist appearance with colorful decorations. It has very Balinese decorative carvings and doorman with bright orange roofs and Buddha statues. The beautiful structure is located in a location with views of the valley and cross rice fields to the sea. Tall pine trees, pruned grass, well-maintained flower gardens and high altitudes all add to the sense of peace that you enjoy here. The quite and calm atmosphere and the direct view of the sea make this Buddhist Temple become a perfect place of meditation and definitely worth a visit. Its artistic and unique building is also a special attraction for tourist.
Brahma Vihara Arama consists of three words Brahma, Vihara, and Arama. Brahma means praise / glory, Vihara means the way of life, and Arama means place. From the combination of words, it can be concluded that the meaning of Brahma Vihara-Arama is place for self training, forging the noble / laudable behavior which in Buddhism includes Metta, Kuruna, Mudita, and Upekkha. The Brahma Vihara Arama was founded in 1969 on an area of approximately 4 hectares and was completed one area of approximately 4 hectares and was completed one year later in 1973. This new building was inaugurated as the main Buddhist temple. Previously it was already standing a monastery located in the Banjar Hot Springs Bathing, but at that time his followers (Upcaka) is still very limited so that Brahma Vihara Arama is seen as a more viable place.
