Thekchen Choling Singapore - Your Healing Temple

The fast-paced lifestyle in modern and cosmopolitan country like Singapore is taking a toll on people. Many come to our temple not only to seek relief from mental stress, but also for advices on how to overcome physical pains and aches. While our Lama teaches the Buddhadharma to provide nourishments covering all aspects of life, there is an immediate need to help in the overcoming of physical and bodily pains and sicknesses. In addition, the neighbourhood where our temple is located has many poor and aged senior citizens, many needing medical attention for problems due to old age and sickness.

We therefore aim to become a Healing Temple through a holistic and integrated approach of providing physical, mental and spiritual care to alleviate sufferings and improve the overall quality of life for everybody who seeks our help.

For a start, we are running free Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) consultation, acupuncture, and massage sessions twice a week on Thursday night @ 7 - 9pm and Sunday night @ 8 - 10pm. Chinese medicine is also dispensed free of charge.

Also Reiki healing sessions are conducted on every Sundays 3pm to 5pm from July 2008 onwards. These are also free of charge. Plans are in the pipeline to include counseling, alternative healing, qi gong and yoga when we have more funds and qualified people.

The Buddha is the ultimate doctor. To provide the conditions for us to be a healing temple, we have a life-sized Medicine Buddha Rupa.

We also have the rupa of Mig Chenresig, a special form of Chenresig, to aid all those with problems with the eyes, especially in Singapore where so many young people are already suffering from problems of poor sight.
