The Amitabha Buddhist Centre, known as 'ABC' by its devotees, is a major Buddhist institution of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in Singapore. ABC is affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT), an international non-profit organisation, founded by Lama Thubten Yeshe. The history of ABC can be traced to 1984 when Lama Yeshe first visited Singapore with Thubten Zopa Rinpoche. The centre is devoted to the transmission of Mahayana Buddhist tradition worldwide through teaching, meditation and community service with the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, as its spiritual patron. Activities of the centre include meditation retreats, Sutra recitation, social and welfare programmes, and publication of free Dharma books.
