🌕 Saga Dawa — The Month of Merits

Saga Dawa is the most sacred month in the Tibetan Buddhist calendar, running this year from 17 May to 15 June 2026. It culminates on the full moon day of 31 May, known as Saga Dawa Düchen — the holiest day of the year for Tibetan Buddhists. This year, it coincides with Vesak Day.

This sacred month commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Lord Shakyamuni Buddha.

✨ Why is this month so special?

It is known as the "month of merits" — every act of goodness, however small, is magnified during this time. A beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and do a little more good in the world. 🙏

May this Saga Dawa be filled with virtue, compassion, and joy. 🌸🙏

🌸 Celebrate Vesak Day with Us – You're Invited!

This Vesak Day, we warmly welcome you and your loved ones to our Open House as we honour the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Lord Buddha.

Join us in the beautiful tradition of Bathing the Buddha — a serene and meaningful ritual symbolising inner purification, and the renewal of wisdom and compassion.

🗓 Date: Sunday, 31 May 2026
🕐 Time: 1.30pm – 4.30pm
📍 Venue: 446 Race Course Road, Singapore 218689

All are welcome. We look forward to celebrating with you. 🙏✨

Mother’s Day is a quiet reminder of the kind of love that shows up every day — patient, steady, and often unnoticed.

In Buddhist practice, Arya Tara represents that same kind of care — a compassion that listens, protects, and responds when it’s needed most.

Like a mother who cares without expecting anything in return, Arya Tara’s compassion is swift, fearless, and unconditional.

Today, we express our gratitude:
🌸 To our mothers in this life
🌸 To all motherly figures who have nurtured and guided us
🌸 And to the compassionate presence of Arya Tara, who leads us on the path of wisdom

May all mothers be blessed with peace, good health, and joy.
May all beings be free from suffering.

Happy Mother’s Day.

🙏 Welcoming the New Year with Mindfulness and Compassion 🙏

As the year begins, we pause for a moment — to breathe, to arrive, and to give thanks for this community we share.

The past year brought its ups and downs, its lessons and quiet moments of growth. We carry them gently as we step forward, continuing our practice one day at a time.

As we step into the days ahead, may we walk gently — with more patience, more kindness, and a little more awareness in how we speak, act, and relate to one another. May we remember to return to the present moment, again and again, especially when life feels uncertain.

With the gentle guidance of Arya Tara, may we find calm, courage, and compassion along the way.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and meaningful year ahead.

🌸 Happy New Year 🌸

🌼 Happy Lhabab Düchen! 🌼

Lhabab Düchen commemorates the Buddha’s return to the human realm after giving teachings to his mother for three months in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three.

On this auspicious day, our thoughts turn to compassion, gratitude, and the wish to bring benefit to others — in big or small ways.

As one of the four great Buddhist festivals, all positive actions done today are multiplied one hundred million times.

May our prayers, generosity, and practice today bring peace and benefit to all beings. 🙏

Earlier this month, Tara Buddhist Centre donated 150 bags of daily necessities to two Social Service Offices. These will go to seniors and families with young children in our community. 💛

We’re grateful for the chance to share a little care and kindness with others. May these offerings bring comfort and warmth to those who receive them. 🙏

During a recent visit to Sichuan in China, our members were presented with this exquisite Tara statue from the famous “Talking Tara Temple”.

A precious reminder of compassion and protection, now enshrined in our centre. 🙏 🌸
