Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery, Singapore

By Murray Bourne, 29 Oct 2007

I recently spent an enjoyable afternoon at the Buddhist Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery. It was built in the early 1900s but was in a bad state of disrepair until restoration work in the late 1990s.

The monastery is right next to the busy PIE (Pan-Island Expressway), but you can still find quiet and restful nooks and crannies.

HDB flats surround the monastery on three sides.

The gardens are a delight:

It is one of the largest monasteries in South East Asia and it was modeled after the Xi Chan Si in Fuzhou, China. It is still operating as a monastery.

    I was at the monestary in 2004. On the way from the pagoda up the steps to the Hall of Kuan Yin there was a place to make some purchases, a gift shop of sorts. I bought a silver prayer ring there and would love to know if anyone has any information on how I could get another one from them.
    Any input is appreciated.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
