Buddhist temple built in the traditional style appropriately
adapted to local conditions. Dhamma classes, religious festivals and
Burmese traditional celebrations like New Year
Celebration (Thingyan) are regularly held in the

This new
grand Burmese Buddhist Temple (BBT) is the
replacement of the previous small BBT from 17 Kinta
Road, Singapore.
From its modest beginning with small temple at Kinta
Road, the BBT began to grow gradually as a result of
untiring efforts of U Kyaw Gaung, also known as Khoo
Teogou a Burmese practitioner of traditional
medicine and a native of Burma.
U Kyaw Gaung went to Sagyin Hill, 30 miles north of
Mandalay, which was famous for its superior quality
marble used in making Buddha image.There he bought a
large marble weighing more than ten tons at the
price of Rs. 1,200.Buddha image was sculptured out
of that block of marble in Mandalay and it was
completed in 1918.This huge and magnificent marble
Buddha image which stands eleven feet high and
weighs ten tons was carried over to Singapore
in1921.
Sayadaw U Pannya Vamsa's earlier effort in 1971 to
build a temple 'in Singapore with the help of the
Dharma Cakra Society was unfortunately not
realised.Again in 1973, U Ba Thein, son of U Kyaw
Gaung, approached Sayadaw at the Penang Burmese
Buddhist Temple to assist him in the development of
his temple in Kinta Road but to no avail.
However, after overcoming many obstacles and putting
in much efforts by venerable monks, the
lay-Buddhists and well-wishers, Ven. U Pannya Vamsa
built this temple, Sasanaramsi Burmese Buddhist
Temple in 1990.It is the first and only Burmese
Buddhist temple built outside Burma (Myanmar) in the
traditional style appropriately adapted to the local
conditions. Its magnificent marble Buddha image is
the biggest enshrined outside Burma.
Besides Dhamma classes, religious festivals and
Burmese traditional celebrations like New Year
Celebration (Thingyan) are regularly held in the
temple.
This unique and dignified temple becomes a religious
landmark in Singapore.
