BUDDHIST MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

At Singapore Buddhist Mission, we firmly believe in Buddhists being able to be successful and joyful in their endeavors while living the Dhamma and being supported by the Buddhist Community.

In partnership with the Buddhist Youth Network, we kickstarted the Buddhist Mentorship Programme, to invite practicing Buddhists to provide sound guidance to aspiring Buddhists who wish to be mentored.

PHIMOL, SEASON 1 MENTEE

“In your career, you have career coaches. When you are in finance, you have your financial coaches. Likewise when you want to go into Buddhism, you need someone there to be accountable, someone to help answer your Buddhist questions. Finding that interest and sparking that interest for someone new into Buddhism is something very magical."
