Shinnyo-en Singapore

Shinnyo-en Singapore Shinnyo-en is an international Buddhist community founded on the ancient wisdom and love embodied in the Buddha's teachings.

Our temple is at 2 Jalan Kechot Singapore, Singapore 419231 Shinnyo-en is a Buddhist denomination originally established in 1936 in Japan by Master Shinjo Ito together with his wife, Tomoji. Shinnyo-en is based on the Mahaparinirvana Sutra which is said to convey the essence of the final Teaching as expounded by Shakyamuni Buddha before He entered into Nirvana. The name “Shinnyo-en” means “a place

without borders where all who desire to bring forth their true nature are welcome”. Shinnyo-en is a place where all people regardless of age, gender, nationality or religious background can cultivate their inner Buddha-nature, understand that all are interconnected and bring out their inner goodness in their lives. Currently, there are almost 1 million practitioners practicing in 138 centres in 16 countries around the world and Shinnyo-en today is led by Her Holiness Shinso Ito, who is Shinjo Ito’s direct successor. Shinnyo-en Singapore began its activities in 1994 in central Singapore and we are currently located in the Eunos area.

Looking back, a month has passed since we welcomed the Shinnyo Masters to Singapore as part of their global journey.

Over the 2 weeks, many members and visitors came, to pause, reflect, and to encounter something beyond or deeper within them.

Thank you to everyone who visited, supported, and helped to make this meaningful event possible. May the light we encountered continue to inspire how we live each day, with gratitude, wisdom and compassion.

Not all journeys begin outward. Some begin within.

These ribbons represent our encounter with the Shinnyo Masters. Throughout this period, visitors and members were invited to pick a ribbon and write “Namu Shinnyo” – the core mantra of Shinnyo-en, with each handwriting symbolising our unique individualities.

Individual threads may seem weak alone, but when woven together into a braid, symbolizing the 5 coloured Vajra cord, it becomes very strong. The woven ribbons will be presented at the closing ceremony this coming Sunday.

🗓 Date: Sunday, 26 July
⏰ Time: 7:30 PM
📍 Location: Shinnyo-en Singapore

We hope to see you at the ceremony!

“It is a very meaningful experience putting out your wishes and prayers and what you hope to see. I think it is a powerful statement when you have a vision. Putting in writing…is a step towards making a dream to reality… putting on these nice floating lanterns is very meaningful and impactful”
– Mr. Seah Kian Peng
