Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre (Chinese: 噶玛迦如佛教中心) is one of the several Tibetan Buddhism Vajrayana centers in Singapore, as of 2015[update] operating from temporary premises while the permanent building is undergoing reconstruction. The temporary and permanent premises are both in Geylang.
History[edit | edit source]
Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre was first initiated in 1979,[1] and after a visit by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa on 27 December 1980, the centre was officially founded on 17 April 1981 following a visit by Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche in Singapore.[2] The centre subscribes with the Kagyud lineage[citation needed] of Tibetan Buddhism[3] and advocates Trinley Thaye Dorje as the 17th Karmapa[4] in the ongoing Karmapa Controversy.[5]
