Rare public exhibition showcases more than 40 sacred Buddhist relics alongside thangkas, photography and collaborative works by renowned artist Lin Lu Zai. Held from 3 to 13 September 2026 at Karma Kagyud Buddhist Centre, Singapore, Omniscient Gems: Treasures of Relics and Sacred Art Exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience centuries-old Buddhist relics and sacred art that are seldom displayed to the public.
This free exhibition presents the treasured collection of Shangpa Rinpoche, abbot of the Centre, bringing together sacred relics, thangkas, photography, and fine art in a single exhibition. Many of the relics are centuries old and have never been available for public viewing, making this a truly exceptional opportunity that many visitors may experience only once in their lifetime.
Highlights of the exhibition include:
• More than 40 sacred Buddhist relics
• More than 40 thangkas and sacred artworks
• More than 30 photographic works
• Collaborative artworks by renowned artist Mr. Lin Lu Zai
• Revered Buddhist relics from Thalagala Mangalarama Maha Viharaya, Sri Lanka, shared by Venerable Tallagala Sumanarathanayake Thero
Admission is free, although advance registration is required due to limited visitor capacity.
