Burmese Buddhist Temple

Founded in 1875, this temple is one the oldest Theravada institutions and the only Burmese Buddhist temple of its kind in Singapore. The traditional Burmese architectural-style temple is home to the 10-tonne, 11-foot white marble Buddha statue that arrived from Mandalay in 1918. The statue boasts the worthy accolade of being the largest pure white marble statue of Buddha outside of Myanmar. It also has a Bodhi tree with an origin that traces back to the original Bodhi tree where Buddha attained enlightenment.
