Buddhist Wisdom Group
A local doorway into Buddhist practice
At 11 Ava Road, Buddhist Wisdom Group gives visitors a local point of contact for Mahayana Buddhist practice in Singapore. Its public presence is a Facebook page rather than a detailed retreat website, so approach it as a community group, not as a packaged residential retreat. The group runs by donation, with no fixed fee. Mahayana Buddhism encompasses a wide range of teachings and methods; the precise format of sessions here is something to check directly before visiting. The straightforward setup may suit travelers who want to connect with a local Buddhist community without assuming a formal retreat timetable. There is a street address to plan around, but no lodging or daily schedule to build a longer stay around. Message the group through its Facebook page to ask about visiting, current practice times, language, and whether newcomers should bring anything.
