Bite-sized Dharma on the go!
Come and celebrate with us the day that the Buddha gave the first teachings to this world!
And
through this teaching, the Torch of Wisdom lit up the world, lifting the veil of darkness that enveloped our eyes.
1st July 2012 @ 10am ~ The Buddhist Library
Have a Blessed and Peaceful day ahead and see you all tomorrow!
Come join us for the Bodhi Big Walk this 3rd June 2012.
Why are we having this Bodhi Big Walk?
Buddhist Library is celebrating 30 years of Dhamma sharing in Singapore. In this past 30 years, the Buddhist Library, led by Bhante Dhammaratana, has brought the Dhamma to the Singapore Buddhist community and also touched the lives of many from all walks of life.
This Big Walk is a way for us to invite our friends and family to join us on our Spiritual Journey, from 30 years ago to today, and to the future, striving on in the Path towards Enlightenment!
The Final Fruit goes not to the swift, but to those who keep on walking!

Eight Schools of Thought ~ A Dharma Teaching Series by Venerable Fa Guang @ Poh Ming Tse
6 June ~ 27 June Every Wednesday.
A brief overview of the 8 schools of thought based on the reading of “The Essentials Of The Eight Traditions" by Gyonen
The Essentials of the Eight Schools gives a concise account of the history and doctrines of the eight principal Buddhist schools in existence in Japan at the time of the author, i.e. the six schools which were introduced to Japan during the Nara Period and the two schools introduced by Saicho and Kukai during the Heian Period. This work may thus be described as an introduction to Japanese Buddhism.
The eight traditions / schools
You will bring back with you some Japanese languages and terms at the end of the class.
