Tai Pei Buddhist Centre


Thanks to J who gave us a free ride to Lavender MRT & since I had some time before my next appointment, I decided to pay a quick visit to Tai Pei Buddhist Centre which is just near Lavender MRT, at the Road Junction opposite the new condo project: Citylights. It's easy to identify the building as you can see a Buddha statute on top of its building.

Tai Pei Buddhist Centre is a non-profitable Buddhist Organization with objective to disseminate the Buddha's Teachings as well as to promote and develop Buddhist activites in Singapore. According to its web introduction, the hall on its ground floor can accomodate 600 people and the centre always welcome other registered Buddhist organisations to hold events at its premises.

On its 2nd floor, they have a child care centre and it's an interesting sight to see some young children paying respect to the Buddha at the ground floor hall before leaving for their home. :-)

You may find out more about the centre from their official website: http://www.dabei.org.sg/00home.html
It is located at 2, Lavender Street, Singapore 338823
