Welcome

Buddhism is a spiritual tradition which illuminates the path towards the realisation of one’s highest potential. The Buddha – ‘One who knows’ – is the embodiment of this state of perfect wisdom and compassion. His legacy has inspired and enriched countless lives for more than 2500 years. Over the years, Buddhism has evolved into a variety of forms – the Theravada [represented by Sri Lankan, Burmese and Thai Buddhism ], the Mahayana [ Chinese, Japanese and Korean Buddhism ]; and the Vajrayana [ Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhism].

Started in 1983 as Singapore’a first public Buddhist book service, the Buddhist Library aims to promote a holistic understanding and appreciation of Buddhism through study and practice. The Buddhist Library is not exclusively affiliated to any particular Buddhist school or tradition. Taking on a universal approach to Buddhism, it encourages Buddhists irrespective of school, tradition or orientation, to come together to study, interact and cooperate with each other.
