In our premise, there is a teahouse with a gallery of Buddhist artifacts for members and friends to share moments together.
In our life journey, there are times where we are lost and need support from our Dharma friends. There are times where our Dharma friends need our support. Let Fo Guang Shan (Singapore) be the place for us to share and realise our goals and hopes together.
