Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre (Chinese: 噶玛迦如佛教中心) is one of the several Tibetan Buddhism Vajrayana centers in Singapore, as of 2015 operating from temporary premises while the permanent building is undergoing reconstruction. The temporary and permanent premises are both in Geylang.

History

Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre was first initiated in 1979,[1] and after a visit by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa on 27 December 1980, the centre was officially founded on 17 April 1981 following a visit by Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche in Singapore.[2] The centre subscribes with the Kagyud lineage[3] of Tibetan Buddhism[4] and advocates Trinley Thaye Dorje as the 17th Karmapa[5] in the ongoing Karmapa Controversy.[6]
