"A Growing Buddhist Population Tests the Neighborliness of a City"

FORT WAYNE, Ind. The newest Buddhist temple here is a vinyl-sided house on the edge of the prairie. Worship services are so popular that people who arrive late must squeeze into the two-car garage, kneel on the concrete floor and pray between a golden statue of a smiling Buddha and a black Craftsman riding lawnmower.

For a house, its very big, but for a temple, its very small, said Dr. Khin Oo, a physician and president of Dhammarekkhita, a Burmese temple and monastery here.

Fort Wayne, a city of 248,000 people and 606 Christian churches, is in the midst of a Buddhist temple boom. Southeast Asians have opened six temples here in the last seven years, including one for Laotians, two for Burmese and two for Mon, another Burmese ethnic group. Only a handful of Sri Lankans live in Fort Wayne, but they decided to build a temple here anyway because of the citys strong Buddhist network. Fort Wayne also is an easy drive from Sri Lankan communities in Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit, said Thalangama Devananda, a Sri Lankan abbot.

Because housing in Fort Wayne is inexpensive, most temples occupy former houses tucked into residential neighborhoods (except the Laotian temple, a former used-car dealership). The Sri Lankans altar, for example, sits in the basement recreation room of a three-bedroom house, which the Sri Lankans bought four years ago for $47,000.

Turning a house into a Buddhist temple has often meant uncomfortable compromises with tradition and friction with neighbors. Now Fort Waynes Buddhists are building their second generation of temples. Two groups built sizable sheds on their properties last year to create separate spaces for their shrines and monasteries, as is the custom in much of Southeast Asia. Two others recently bought houses on large tracts in rural areas and plan to construct buildings there, where land is cheap and neighbors are few.

There have been a lot of cases where Buddhists face community hostility, so you find them building temples way out in the boonies, said Russell Jeung, an assistant professor of Asian-American studies at San Francisco State University and an expert on religious practices of immigrants.

Southeast Asians started moving to Fort Wayne in the mid-1970s, lured by low living costs and high-paying factory jobs that require little English, said Nyein Chan, a Burmese refugee and resettlement director for Catholic Charities in Fort Wayne. Today the city is home to 4,600 Asians, Mr. Chan said. That includes over 3,000 Burmese, the largest concentration of Burmese refugees in the country, said Anastasia Brown, director of refugee programs for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The migration continues. In the next seven months Catholic Charities will bring 300 Burmese to Fort Wayne, more than in any previous year since the program started in 1994, Mr. Chan said.

Temples here already strain to meet growing needs. It is impossible to kneel before the altar inside the Jetavan Burmese temple on Sylvia Street because the living room is crammed with three threadbare recliners, reserved for monks, and a tangle of computer wires and keyboards for the temples Sunday school class.
