Bodhi Meditation Centre is an urban meditation centre with the intention of preserving the original teachings of the Buddha as presented in the Vipassana (Insight) and Metta (Loving-kindness) Meditations.

Resident teacher: Venerable Chuan Ren (Pannavudha).

The team of people who form the committee of MDC consist of lay practitioners who see the lack of proper Dhamma and Meditation teachers in Singapore. This lack of proper support prompted them to seek out the two highly respected and venerated teachers (who are the centre's two resident religious advisors), as well as others from Thailand, to bring the Teachings to Singapore and share them with the Dhamma-hungry Buddhist community.
MDC has two resident religious advisors. They are the Venerables Phramaha Dr. Suthimon and Phra Ajahn Chakat. Both monks have over 20 vassas each and are well versed in the Dhamma, Pali Sutta Chanting and Meditation.
The teachings followed at MDC are from the Thai Theravada Tradition. But although both resident religious advisors are ordained in different lineages (Maha-nikaya & Thammayut) according to the Thai Theravada system, they teach the unified tradition of the Dhamma-vinaya, the religion of the Buddha.
