History of The Singapore Buddhist Meditation Center
History of The Singapore Buddhist Meditation Center
Presently located at No. 1, Jalan Mas Puteh, Singapore 128607, the Singapore Buddhist Meditation Centre, was officially registered with the Singapore Registrar of Societies in 1979. Its primary aim is to spread the Buddha’s word world-wide.
The centre was founded by Venerable Weragoda Sarada Maha Thero, who is also the Religious Advisor, with the dedicated support of a group of pioneering devotees led by Mr. Ee Fook Choy and Mr. Dennis Wang Khee Pong. The Centre was registered as a charity organisation.
Though it started and commenced its Buddhist activities on a minor scale, it has evolved 20 years later to become an internationally acclaimed institution that radiates and spreads the glory of the Buddha Dharma.
