Spiritual Director: Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje Email (Phone: +65 98317785)
Notes and Events:
On 20th March 1999, the late Geshe Lama Konchog, now reincarnated as Tulku Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche, instructed Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje to start a Dharma Centre. He bestowed the name Thekchen Choling, meaning Great Mahayana Dharma Temples named after the monastery of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
Geshe-las vision was for the temple to change the current mindset of that one can only practice the Dharma as ordained Sangha. Thekchen Cholings focus is thus to impart ways that lay people can practice the Dharma, integrating it into their everyday lives and learning to realize their inner potential and be happy and fulfilled.
In 2001, Thekchen Choling (Singapore) was formally registered. From a handful of students, the crowd at Thekchen Choling is now several times larger with a mailing list of five thousand and regular students numbering to several hundred.
Thekchen Cholings vision is to Connect All with Divine Hearts. This is a special wish for all members and disciples to develop the divine heart of Buddha and gain enlightenment to benefit all beings.
As earnest practitioners of the Dharma, these aspiring Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can also engage in the activities of divine beings to reach out and touch everyone with the essence of Buddhas teaching - Love and compassion. With this proactive and outgoing aspiration, it is therefore not surprising that Thekchen Choling has a very young congregation. Coming from diverse backgrounds, they range from students to young working professionals under 40 years of age.
The three areas that the temples activities are in
- Dharma Development
- Healing Services
- Community Services for children and youth.

Vipassana Singapore
Offering courses in Vipassana Meditation as taught by the late S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.
Introduction to Vipassana Meditation
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of the most ancient techniques of meditation. The Buddha taught it in India more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for universal ills, an Art of Living. To those who are not familiar with Vipassana Meditation we recommend visiting the International Vipassana Website for an introduction.
To apply for a course
To learn Vipassana Meditation one needs to develop ones own experience during a residential ten-day course. Courses are held several times a year in Singapore.
To apply for a course and to understand the requirements, please read the Code of Discipline and find a convenient date in the Course Schedule.
Children and Teenagers Courses
Specially adapted courses give Children (aged 8-12) and Teenagers (aged 13-18) the opportunity to learn Anapana meditation (the first stage in Vipassana) during a one-day course.
Course Checklist

Course Fees
There are no charges for the courses, not even to cover the cost of food and accommodation. Courses are run solely on the donation from old students. All the related expenses are fully met by donations from those who have completed a course experienced the benefits of Vipassana, and wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the teachers nor the course helpers receive remuneration; they and those who organise the courses volunteer their time so that more people can experience the peace and harmony.
