These independent centres would often request for guidance and advice from Singha Rinpoche. Disciples from Thekchen Choling are also invited to visit and join them in their meaningful dharma activities. In many ways, Thekchen Choling is not a physical centre in Singapore, but a international network of Buddhist (and sometimes Non-Buddhist) friends engaging in meaningful, beneficial activities that connect everyone, and benefitting\u00a0 all sentient beings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe8f1a2 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet_extra elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile_extra elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fe8f1a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1636\" src=\"https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-scaled.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12452\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-scaled-600x383.png 600w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-1536x982.png 1536w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/maps-1-2048x1309.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-397684e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"397684e\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"Nepal\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faa52ab e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"faa52ab\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e03266 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8e03266\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-029e17d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"029e17d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"524\" data-src=\"https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/45609-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8252 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/45609-1.png 743w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/45609-1-600x423.png 600w, https:\/\/orfeostoryweb.com\/thekchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/45609-1-300x212.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 743px;
