We would also like to thank all donors, supporters, the wonderful, dedicated and committed volunteers and staff, and the amazing management and staff of Singapore EXPO: MAX Atria for a stupendous 2 days!!
Thank you to you, the audience, for the outpouring of positive reviews and we are so happy that all of you had a fantastic time, all due to the great wisdom, blessings and loving kindness of the awesome speakers and what is even more wonderful is the terrific humour that encompassed the entire event! The conference was filled with laughter over two happy days.
Through this conference, we can see that though we all come from different traditions, we are not that different, and the same profound and powerful Dhamma of the compassionate Buddha connects us all in every part of the globe. And though we come from all over the world, we can laugh at the same jokes, share the same loving kindness and connect with each other like brothers and sisters.
Thank you all for making this conference one to remember.

Hooray! We received the key of our new DhammaHome!
We are delighted to share that we've successfully completed the purchase of our new BF DhammaHome on 15 August 2023.
This momentous step was not achieved overnight. Through patience, dedication, and your unwavering support, we've navigated challenges, adjusted to shifting timelines, and remained anchored in our collective vision. This marks a memorable moment for BF as we now have a place to call our permanent home.
Your faith and commitment have been instrumental in this achievement. This new foundation will greatly enrich our community's experiences, offering a space for members to dive deeper into dhamma talks, engage in fellowship, and collaborate more effectively to assist those in need.
While this is a time of celebration, it's also a reminder of the journey ahead. Managing an active Buddhist centre while creating our envisioned space will require effort and dedication. However, with the unity and spirit of our community, we are confident in building a space that offers stability, support, and a beacon for the broader Buddhist community.
Your passion and dedication continue to be the driving forces behind BF's achievements. Together, let's embrace this new chapter with optimism, commitment, and unity.

About Buddhist Fellowship
Buddhist Fellowship
Buddhist Fellowship ("BF") has been committed to serving the community by offering the Dhamma to all for the last 33 years. Our activities and membership have grown tremendously and it is time to find a permanent home of our own so that we can focus more on propagating the Dhamma and continue serving you. The Buddha's path of peace and joy cannot be ignored in these turbulent times. Come and share in this endeavour to bring humanity to a higher level of development. You can be a part of this!
Our Contribution to the Buddhist Communities
Over the years, BF has been doing our part in helping the Buddhist communities in Dhamma propagation. We have been supporting them in many ways, including the use of our premises for their activities.
Your generous donations to the BF DhammaHome project will continue to help us in supporting the Dhamma propagation work.
Ajahn Brahm
Even the Buddha, though unattached, had many places (centres) where people could go to hear Him teach. It is now time that the Buddhist Fellowship has its own centre in which it may grow and serve, and develop free from the constraints of being within another's premises...

Bhante Rathanasara
I wish every success for the Flagbearers of the Buddhist Fellowship in their great venture for a new Dhamma Home. With bigger premises, more people can come together to practise the Dhamma.
Bhante Buddharakkhita
The Buddha said: one who gives a dwelling place, gives all. And one who gives the Dhamma, gives immortality. Accordingly, supporting the new Dhamma Home at the Buddhist Fellowship of Singapore is a golden opportunity for us to “give all” to such a rare place where people will live and practise the Dhamma in order to realize ultimate peace.
Sylvia Bay
I would like to congratulate BF for its bold decision to buy a piece of land to build its own home. I have no doubt that this undertaking will significantly advance the cause of Dhamma propagation in Singapore...
