Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling Vesak Celebration 2026

Drigar Thubten Dargye Ling Vesak Celebration 2026 (直噶如灯大吉林中心卫塞节庆祝活动2026) will take place over four days from 28 to 31 May 2026 at the Tibetan Buddhist centre in Geylang.

The programme will feature a series of pujas, prayers and Dharma talks led by Venerable Dorzin Dhondrup Rinpoche, with the traditional Buddha Bathing Ceremony on Vesak Day serving as one of the key highlights. A complimentary vegetarian lunch will also be offered to the public on Vesak Day, 31 May 2026 (Sunday), turning the centre into a gentle oasis of prayer, reflection and community amid the city’s hum.
