About Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple
Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple 佛恩寺
A Thai Theravāda Buddhist sanctuary in Singapore — a place of Dhamma, devotion, Sangha and community.
The Temple
A place of reverence, practice and peace.
At 27 Jalan Senyum, Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple offers a spiritual home for Buddhist practice within Singapore. The temple brings together the Buddha’s teachings, the Sangha and the lay community in an environment shaped by Thai Theravāda Buddhist tradition.
Within the sanctuary, devotees and visitors come together for prayer, chanting, offerings, Buddhist observances and community gatherings. Beyond its ceremonies, Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple is also a place for something quieter — reflection, mindfulness and the cultivation of the mind.

A Living Buddhist Temple
More than a place to visit.
Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple is not simply a building or a collection of sacred images. Its meaning comes from the Buddhist practice that takes place within it — the Sangha, the sharing of Dhamma, acts of generosity, meditation, observances and the participation of the community.
For those encountering the temple for the first time, Buddhaguna Buddhist Temple offers an opportunity to experience a living Thai Buddhist tradition in Singapore — respectfully, quietly and at one’s own pace.
