Buddhism was brought to Singapore by our migrant forefathers, and the Cundhi Gong temple built in 1928 played a major role in the lives of Singapore’s Cantonese ‘majie’ women, who had sworn vows of celibacy and worked as domestic workers between the 1930s and 1970s.

Dedicated to the 18-armed Bodhisattva Cundhi, this quaint temple was designated to be a conserved building in 1989, and is part of the Chinatown-Bukit Pasoh Conservation Area.

Wishing all our Buddhist friends a Blessed Vesak Day!
