buddhist affiliation
Directly connected with the Buddhist faith or operated by an organization belonging to it.
A Buddhist affiliation is applied to a place (other than a temple) that has a direct connection with, or belongs to, the Buddhist faith.
The direct connection concerns the Buddhist faith. A place can belong to a Buddhist organization while serving a function other than worship.
A Buddhist temple already identifies its religious use. This affiliation concerns other kinds of places with a direct connection to the faith.
