The Lancaster Serene Reflection Meditation Group was formed in 1980. We meet on Mondays at 7.30pm at the Friends Meeting House in Lancaster, which is next door to the railway station. The first time you come, one of our experienced members will talk to you about our practice and give you meditation instruction. The style of meditation we practice is called ‘serene reflection meditation’ – we are part of the Soto Zen tradition of Buddhism.

The group is affiliated to The Order of Buddhist Contemplatives. The Order is dedicated to the practice of the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition, known as Ts’ao-Tung Ch’an in China and Sōtō Zen in Japan. The Order was established by Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett to serve as the international umbrella organization for the monasteries, priories (local temples), and meditation groups led by priests of our lineage in Britain, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. The group has strong connections with Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, a Zen Buddhist monastery and retreat centre situated in Northumberland - its Abbot is Rev Master Daishin Morgan. Senior members of the monastic community there, regularly visit the group, and also lead short retreats in Lancaster. They are also available on request to give private spiritual counselling to group members.

Notes and Events:

Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery, an architecture masterpiece of the nineteenth century, also represents a unique pageant of Singapore history.

An amazing and eventful history of the Monastery relates back to the year 1858. Low Kim Pong, a young man of twenty from Zhangzhou County in the Fujian province, China , left his hometown and set sail for Singapore in search of a living. Born into a poor family, he was nevertheless generous and industrious by nature. Starting off from small businesses, the devoted Buddhist Low Kim Pong eventually became a successful entrepreneur and an influential leader of the Fujian community in Singapore .

In 1898, both Low Kim Pong and his son dreamt of a sacred man, radiating golden light, approaching from the West to the water front. Believing this to be an omen and with a continuing enthusiasm, they went to the waterfront and waited patiently. A boat finally arrived at dusk, with Venerable Xian Hui and his family of 12 monks and nuns.

They were actually stopping by Singapore , after six years of pilgrimage to India , Ceylon and Burma and were on their way home to Fuzhou County in Fujian.

Venerable Xian Hui and his entourage were invited to Low Kim Pong\\\'s home for a sojourn. During their stay, Low Kim Pong proposed to Venerable Xian Hui his vision of building a monastery in Singapore . So intent on having the familyl to stay, he donated 50 acres of land in the central part of the island (the present day Toa Payoh New Town) to build the monastery and invited Venerable Xian Hui to be the founding abbot of the monastery.

The plan to build the Monastery received overwhelming support from the Chinese community in Singapore , Malaysia and Indonesia .

Apart from monetary support, they also deploy the resources of craftsmen from their hometowns Fuzhou , Quanzhou and Zhangzhou Counties in the Fujian province, as well as Chaozhou County in the Guangdong province to build the Monastery. Together they created a unique blend of architectural styles particular to each region yet harmoniously fused to reflect the immigrant society of Singapore at that time.

Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery, with its rich and diverse history, exhibits a magnitude and splendour beyond description. Coupled with the eleven years of restoration work since 1991, this century old Monastery has finally regained its glory. Undeniably, Shuang Lin Shall become a milestone in the heritage of Singapore.
