The Wat Lao Buddha Mettaram, known as the Spartanburg Buddhist Center, opened in 2010. It is located in East Spartanburg.

The Temple is frequently busy. It took visiting on Thanksgiving to be able to take photographs. The details of the building are pretty intricate.

Outside of the Temple is a sculpture garden containing animals and angels. Additionally, a rooster runs free of their grounds, along with several white cats.
