It has been 6 years since His Holiness 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje graced Singapore with a visit. It is with great joy that we now welcome His Holiness to visit Singapore in the month of May. We hope that you will like the line of events we have planned and participate in them actively.

Our centre is raising funds for a new building to be built on the same spot as the current one, in order to cope with the needs of the current congregation. It is our sincere hope that with Karmapa's blessing, our dream of having a new building will be fulfilled.

Please see below for the detailed schedule of events for His Holiness' visit.
