This event is a rare opportunity where 300 Sangha from all over the world will gather in Singapore with the lay community to partake in Alms-Offering, Tipitaka Chanting & Dhamma Dialogue. The Three Traditions will be represented – Mahayana, Theravada and Vajrayana.

Alms-Offering
To be a monastic requires one to give up worldly comforts to fully dedicate one’s life on the path of Enlightenment (nibbana) while sharing insights into the Dhamma with the lay community. The practice of alms-offering, known as piṇḍapāta, is a way for laypeople to support the spiritual life of the Sangha, as well as to express gratitude and reverence to the Sangha.

Tipitaka Chanting

The Tipitaka, literally meaning ‘Three Baskets’, is the three-fold collection of the Buddhist teachings. Through the recitation of the Tipitaka, mindfulness (sati) and concentration (samadhi) are cultivated. To many people, reciting the Tipitaka in a large group brings a sense of peace and happiness.

Dhamma Dialogue

The Dhamma Dialogue, featuring international distinguished speakers with a wealth of knowledge and experience, will share how Buddhist practices can help individuals cultivate a positive mindset, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve overall mental and emotional well-being amidst this rapidly changing world.
