| description | The foundation of monasteries in Singapore (a dozen) by Buddhist migrants from Burma, is part of the migratory phenomenon common to the whole of contemporary Burma. This note is a first presentation of these places, adapted to the specific context of Singapore. Most of them were founded within the last decade, doubtlessly by permanent residents (monks and laymen), which indicates a degree of implantation or integration in Singapore society. Through these monasteries and their religious activities, migrants maintain also strong links with their society of origin in accordance with their values. Transnational networks have been elaborated through which circulate invited monks, money and other goods. |
