I'm not exactly sure that temples are important to Buddhas. When a bodhisatta attains enlightenment and becomes a Buddha, there are no Buddhist temples anywhere on the earth at that point. The Pali word for temple is vihara, which means living space. Viharas are buildings where monks can live. So a vihara or temple is important to a Buddha because it provides a space where his monks can live and be protected from the elements.
