A Year of Connection, Compassion, and Growth with SIM Buddhist Society
A Year of Connection, Compassion, and Growth with SIM Buddhist Society
Over the past academic year, the SIM Buddhist Society (SIMBB) organized a meaningful series of activities that brought members together through friendship, mindfulness, volunteering, and personal growth.
The year began with the Vesak Day Volunteering Event at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, where members collaborated with other university Buddhist societies to assist the public with lantern-folding activities. The event encouraged compassion while strengthening bonds across Buddhist communities in Singapore.
SIMBB also organised bonding and sharing sessions such as “Balance in Every Step”, where members reflected on the Buddhist concept of the middle way through interactive games and discussions led by spiritual advisor Sister Sujata. This was followed by the club’s Welcoming Party, which featured bonding activities and a temple tour that helped members build stronger friendships within the community.
Beyond spiritual learning, members attended workshops such as “Purposeful Connection in a Noisy World”, where they learned communication and presentation skills that can be applied in both personal and professional settings.
The club also continued its focus on compassion through initiatives such as Generations in Creation at Punggol Nursing Home, where members spent time with elderly residents through games, activities, and shared meals.
Other highlights included a temple tour collaboration with Fo Guang Shan and NUS Buddhist Society, as well as a fun-filled bonding game night that allowed members to relax and connect with one another.
The year concluded with AGM 2026, marking the transition from the 18th Committee to the 19th Committee while celebrating the meaningful memories, friendships, and experiences shared throughout the year.
Through its various activities, SIMBB continues to foster a welcoming community where members can practice compassion, strengthen relationships, and grow together both personally and spiritually.
