General Information

Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery (KMSPKS) is a spiritual sanctuary in urban Singapore where one can learn the Buddha’s teachings of wisdom and compassion; practise mindfulness; develop gratitude and bring happiness to all. 

Founded in 1921, KMSPKS is one of the first traditional Chinese forest monasteries in Singapore.  Today, the monastery sits on 75,470 square metres – equivalent to the size of almost 11 football fields – and is one of the most significant and renowned monasteries in Southeast Asia. Over the years, we have grown dynamically in Dharma propagation, community involvement and religious harmony efforts. Today, we are a community of Buddhists who come together to learn, practise and share the teachings of the Buddha.

光明山普觉禅寺（KMSPKS）是新加坡人的心灵避难所。在此可学习到佛陀所教导的智慧与慈悲、实习正念、培植并增长报恩、谦卑及愉悦欢喜心。本寺创立于1921年，是新加坡十方丛林之始。现今寺院占地75,470平方公尺，总面积约等于11个足球场；是东南亚最驰名的寺院之一。这些年来我们致力于推动佛法传播、参与社区活动，及努力促进宗教和谐。时至今日，我们已成为众佛教徒，一起学习，实践及分享佛法的道场。
