药师佛长寿年灯 · 一个名字 · 全年点亮

In Tibetan Buddhism a lamp offered before the Medicine Buddha is the simplest and oldest prayer for health: light against the darkness of illness. At TGBC the long life lamps burn on the altar at 3C Campbell Lane every day of the year, each one carrying a name.

S$50 · one name, one full yearLess than S$1 a week. Your lamp is lit and tended daily, and the name is read at every weekly prayer and every Medicine Buddha puja until the year ends.

Who people light this lamp for

  • Elderly parents and grandparents. The most common reason: a year of health for mum or dad.

  • A child or a newborn, for a healthy start.

What your offering does

A lamp on the altar
One butter lamp before the Medicine Buddha, lit daily for twelve months.
One name, dedicated
Only the name you give. For more people, add one lamp per name.
Prayers all year
Included in every weekly prayer and every Medicine Buddha puja during the year.
Renewal reminder
We message you before the year ends so you can renew for another year.
Why renew every year. A lamp is not a one-time wish. Each year it is relit, the dedication is renewed and the prayers continue. Many families keep the same lamp burning for a parent for years, and relight it in their memory after they pass. If your lamp has ended, this is where to renew it.

How to give

Add one lamp for each name, write the names in the dedication box above, and press Donate. New or renewal, the process is the same. You will receive a receipt by email straight away.
