The biggest Monastery in SG
Walking into this monastery feels like I am in Taiwan :). The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery was built in early 20th century, to serve as a temple and to provide lodging for the monk.
Located in Bishan, Singapore, this monastery is the largest Buddhist Temple in Singapore. I like the garden in this Temple, planted with many beautiful flowers and vegetables. The mini river and ponds also a nice place to rest our minds.
This monastery also host several big events, such as the Dharma talk by Ajahn Brahm from Western Australia and Hair for Hope.
I recommend walking around the monastery to enjoy the peaceful moments, enjoy the building architecture and take a vegetarian lunch at a small fee.
Address: 88 Bright Hill Rd, Singapore 574117
How to get here: take the bus no.52, 162, 162M, 410

Most of the construction of the Pujue Temple in Guangming Mountain is based on the central north-south axis and was built by reference to the buildings of southern China in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The temple architecture has the architectural characteristics of ancient Chinese palaces, which are regarded as classic examples with the magnificent roof and the combination of architecture and reliefs. Due to the influence of traditional folk culture and religion, the temple can see ceramic statues and relief walls such as flying sky, dragon, lion.
The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery at Bright Hill Road is the largest Buddhist monastery of the Mahayana tradition, Chan “Zen” school in Singapore. Its sprawling grounds and large prayer halls are open to visitors who wish to explore respectfully its premises to better understand Buddhism and spend time in quiet reflection or meditation. While there is a charitable kitchen which serves free vegetarian meals daily for those in need, there is also a cafe which is open to the public offers delicious paid meals and beverages. Do pay this place a visit and be in marvel of the deep religiosity in a modern country like Singapore!
KMSPKS (in short) is one of the largest Buddhist monastery. It offers religious environment which is very peaceful for rituals, meditation, retreats and also afterlife practices and arrangements. 🙏🏻
