Mar 23 | Special Exhibitions Gallery, ACM Empress Place. By Asian Civilisations Museum | Exhibitions: On The Nalanda Trail: Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia
During the past, many Asian countries interacted with each other through peaceful means via religion, trade and political missions. Many Chinese pilgrims went to India for Buddhist studies while Indian monks went to China to disseminate the faith. The footprints of Buddhist pilgrims can be seen over the Silk Road all along Central, northwest India as well as the Southeast Asia. Traversing India to modern Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Tibet, China, Korea and Japan, Java, Sumatra, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos - Buddhism not only affected the lives and cultures in those regions but also left us with a legacy in the arts and literature.
This exhibition will highlight some of the significant landmarks in Buddhist history, through the travel records of the monks Faxian, Xuanzang, Yijing and the spread of Buddhism at centres of higher learning such as Nalanda in eastern India which was visited by many students from all over the Asian world. The exhibition will be illustrated and accompanied by a display of Buddhist art and artefacts borrowed from museums in India and Southeast Asia and will include some objects from the ACM’s own collection.

Nov 18 | By Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery | Grand Puja by by H.E. Kyabje Lati Rinpoche
All are welcome |
| Nov 18 | Palelai Buddhist Temple | Kathina Day - 18 November 2007, Sunday
This ceremony is performed once a year after the end of the vassa for the purpose of offering a set of robes to the Sangha. Traditionally, this robe offering can be made within one month from the end of the vassa, beginning from Devo Day. To facilitate attendance by our members and devotees, we have chosen 18 November 2007, a Sunday, to commemorate this occasion.
The origin of the ceremony could be traced back to the 25th year after the Buddha's enlightenment when he undertook the annual vassa at the Jetavana Grove near Savatthi in the Kingdom of Kosala in India. The Buddha received a group of 30 monks from Saketa who came to pay their respects to the Buddha and listen to the Dhamma. They were all drenched and muddy after the journey and they did not have spare robes to change into. At the invitation of a lay disciple, the Buddha then permitted the initiation of the Kathina robe offering to enable lay supporters to provide dry robes to the Venerables. Since then, the ceremony is observed annually during this period.
Traditionally, the lay community would offer a bale of white cloth for the Sangha to cut, dye, and sew into a set of robes within a day. This practice is still being carried out in monasteries in Thailand and in our sister monastery, Wat Santi, in Johor. However, as we do not have a full quorum of monks in residence during the vassa ( a pre-requisite for this practice in the Buddhist Monks' code of conduct), the lay community of Palelai Buddhist Temple will offer three sets of ready made robes and a bale of white cloth to the venerables during the ceremony. The usage of the bale of white cloth would be decided by the Sangha as they deem appropriate.
Devotees who wish to support this event may proceed to the designated donation counter set up in Palelai's main shrine or the administration office in our new Chedi Dhammasathit building. Receipts will be issued to all well wishers upon receiving of donation. Cheque donations must be crossed and made payable to Palelai Buddhist Temple. Please kindly indicate Kathina Day 2007, your name, contact number and return address at the back of the cheque and mail it to Palelai Buddhist Temple, 49 Bedok Walk, Singapore 469145. The donations collected will go towards the purchase of three sets of robes, the bale of white cloth, the meal Dana for the venerables, and any other expenses incurred for this ceremony.
The programme for Kathina Day 2007 @ Palelai Buddhist Temple is as follows:
KATHINA DAY 2007 @ PALELAI BUDDHIST TEMPLE
18 Nov 2007 Programme

Dec 12
&
Dec 13 | By Buddhist Fellowship | Dharma Talk by Ajahn Brahmali
Date : 12 Dec 07 (Wed)
Topic :A Spiritual Journey
There are two types of Spiritual Journey: The Journey to the Buddhist Holy Sites and the Journey of the Heart towards peace, compassion and happiness. But these two journeys are in fact the same. The purpose of a pilgrimage to India is to give a sense of inspiration and perhaps historical perspective and thus a deeper understanding and greater commitment to the Buddhist practice.
Date :13 Dec 07 (Thur)
Topic:The Meaning of Life
Is there a meaning to life? If not, then what is life all about? The basis for understanding what life is all about is to recognise that all beings have feelings. Because all beings feel, all beings want to be happy. Buddhism is the teaching that shows us the way to attain maximum happiness both for ourselves and others. Why can this be so hard to see? It is because the illusion of a permanent self gets in the way.
Biography of Speaker
Ajahn Brahmali, a Norwegian monk who was ordained at the Bodhinyana Monastery, is a disciple of Ajahn Brahm. Before becoming a monk, he was working in the shipping industry in Singapore, Japan and Norway.
