Brief Introduction of LHM

Our History

Leong Hwa Monastery has more than a hundred years' of history. This was established from land title records dated on 21 March 1901. These records also contained information on the role of the various venerables towards the development of the Monastery. Some of the prominent past venerables include Venerable Sek Hock Siew, Venerable Sek Sok Wah, Venerable Sek Leong Choon, Venerable Sek Cheng San, Venerable Sek Cheng Kong and Venerable Sek Whay Kuan.

The names of the Monastery was changed a few times and the present name, LEONG HWA MONASTERY was adopted at a recent general meeting held on 20 April 2003. The new name better reflects the kind of activities of this Buddhist temple following the redevelopment of the building in May 2002.

Present Abbot

(A Self-relating Story of our Abbot, Venerable Sek Meow Ee)

The current abbot is Venerable Sek Meow Ee. He took over the Monastery in 1989. When he arrived in 1989, there were only 2 elderlys adopted from the Ministry of Community Development & Sports. Under his leadership, the Monastery expanded its role to practise the teachings of Lord Buddha. Consequently various community and charitable activities were organised. These community and charitable activities are now consolidated under the Monastery's community service arm, Viriya Community Services. A self relating story of our Abbot.
