About

Buddhism has played a vital role in our multicultural nation, promoting religious harmony and stability. Now, as we step into a post-Covid era, new challenges emerge, beckoning us to explore how Buddhism can rise above these obstacles and remain as relevant as ever in our dynamic society.

Singapore Buddhist Federation is proud to present a two-day symposium that seeks to address these pressing issues. Themed Envisioning Buddhism in modern-era Singapore, this symposium will provide a platform for esteemed Buddhist leaders to share experiences and shape the vision of Buddhism in Singapore.

In addition, we have curated a diverse range of workshops specially designed for young adults. It encompasses essential topics such as entrepreneurship, leadership, marriages, and self-discovery. By nurturing the potential of our younger generation, we aspire to cultivate an even more robust and resilient Buddhist community in Singapore.

Together, let us unlock the boundless wisdom and embrace the radiant path that Buddhism illuminates for our society.

佛教在这个多元文化的国度中扮演着推动宗教和谐与促进社会稳定的重要角色。在迈入后疫情时代的当下，新的挑战接续浮现，佛教又如何在社会中跨越障碍并保持其时代性呢？

新加坡佛教总会举办为期两天的论坛，以“现代新加坡的佛教远景”为主题，汇聚本地佛教领袖代表及各界翘楚，凝聚共识，共同擘画未来新加坡的佛教蓝图。

此外，我们也为青年设立了不同的主题座谈与工作坊，议题涵盖创业、领导力、婚姻与自我觉察等。通过培养年轻人的潜力，以期在新加坡培育出一个更强大、更具韧性的佛教社群。
