For associate and ordinary membership, if payment is not made after one year from the previous payment, the membership will be considered lapsed and will only be renewed after the next payment is received.

Only Singapore citizens are eligible for application to be an Ordinary or a Life member. Ordinary and Life members will be eligible to vote during centre's AGM, EOGM and may be elected for office in the management committee. All members are also eligible for discounts for our programs, items sold in Sonam Cafe and consecration of Buddha statues services. When a member's close relative (e.g. parents, siblings or grandparents) pass away and the centre is informed, the centre will also arrange for our prayer group to go to the wake to pray for the deceased (transportation cost is to be paid by the deceased's family).
