Sri Lankaramaya Buddhist Temple
Sometime in 1938, the Association purchased the premises at 263, Outram Road and moved to house the temple where it remained for a few years until the place was overcrowded with the increased number of members and devotee gatherings, thus leaving little space to conduct services.The move was made possible with the arrival of the members of the Ceylon Pioneer Corps to Singapore from Sri Lanka with Lord Mountbatten’s British Forces at the end of World War II in 1945, after surrender of the Japanese.They also eventually, together with the local Sinhala Buddhist community and well-wishers contributed toward the purchase of the land at St Michael’s Road, with their meager salary and hand Sri Lankaramaya temple moved to where it is today.The first foundation stone of Sri Lankaramaya temple at the new piece of land was laid by his Excellency the late Sir Franklin Gimson, the then British Governor of Singapore on 24th February 1949.The monks conduct regular Dhamma events including sutta discussions, meditation practices, chanting, pujas and blessings for devotees all year round.
