Our Monastery and Facilities 寺院环境与设施

Mahāyāna Buddhism emphasises the development of compassion and wisdom, often referred to as “the two wings of a bird,” as crucial for spiritual growth. Aligned with KMSPKS’s vision to be a spiritual hub where Buddhists converge to learn, practice, and share Buddha’s teachings, Venerable Sik Kwang Sheng, our current Abbot, expanded our monastic training facilities. In 2005, this expansion included the establishment of the Buddhist College of Singapore (BCS), followed by the Prajna Meditation Hall (PMH) and Aloka Library in 2020.

Situated within KMSPKS, BCS offers BA and MA Degree programs in English and Chinese for local and overseas monastics. To harmonize academic studies with citta-bhāvanā and paññā-bhāvanā (development of the mind and wisdom), PMH frequently invites meditation masters from various Buddhist traditions to lead meditation retreats and share their wisdom cultivated through meditation. Furthermore, PMH houses the Aloka Library, containing extensive Buddhist literature and scriptures for deepening contemplation and exploration of the Dharma.

At KMSPKS, our comprehensive facilities and monastic programs are meticulously designed to effectively support your learning and spiritual growth, fostering your development into a versatile monastic leader and advocate of the Dharma.

 

大乘佛教强调慈悲与智慧的培养,这两者常被比喻为“菩提心双翅”,对修行至关重要。配合光明山普觉禅寺“依佛法之知见,普令众生,证觉大解脱”的使命,本寺方丈广声大和尚增设了各种建筑与设施,其中包括2005年创立的新加坡佛学院及2020年建设的般若禅堂和光明图书馆。

位于寺内的新加坡佛学院,为本地和海外学僧提供中英文学士和硕士课程。为了将学术研究与菩提心及般若智慧的培养(citta-bhāvanā和paññā-bhāvanā)相结合,本寺常邀请来自不同佛教传统的禅修大师前来般若禅堂举办闭关禅修,并分享他们的修行智慧与经验。此外,般若禅堂还设有光明图书馆,收藏了一系列丰富的佛教文献和典籍,供学僧深入佛学研究。

在光明山普觉禅寺,我们用心建设各种设施,以确保学僧可以安心修学,成为多才多艺的佛教弘法人材。
