The Selangor State Government, through PKNS, allocated a piece of land located in Section 24 measuring 1.24 acres on November 1, 1991 to the Yayasan Belia Buddhist Malaysia (YBBM).
However, some time in 1995/1996, the Selangor State Government withdrew their offer to allocate the original piece of land to YBBM and initiated a stop-work order on the construction of the original Bodhi Park Project.
While the turn of event was beyond and one's control, the YBBM took the initiative to negotiate with the state authorities to find an alternative replacement for the original location. This negotiation went on for almost a decade.
Subsequently, the State Government agreed to a proposal for an alternative site location. The proposed new location is currently situated in U12, Shah Alam, with an estimated land bank measuring 1.7 acres.
The offer was firmed up via the letter from PKNS on 21st November 2002 and the Sales & Purchase Agreement was signed 8 April 2004.

About the Project
The Bodhi Park is a project undertaken by Yayasan Belia Buddhist Malaysia (YBBM), which was initiated by Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia (YBAM). When fully completed, the project will comprise three buildings. Block A and Block B (on each side of the main shrine hall) will be housing an auditorium, a multi-purpose hall with kitchen, administrative office and classrooms/preceptors rooms.
The Location
The Bodhi Park is located at Section U 12, Shah Alam, beside the Bukit Raja toll plaza. Being a national project, usage of the facilities will be opened to all recognised Buddhist organisations in Malaysia.
Beside the Bodhi Park project, Buddhist Missionary Society Malaysia (BMSM) will be building the Samadhi Temple. The two projects were initially designed to complement each other in term of usage.
