AbstractBritish colonial records showed that the early fishermen from Burma (previous nameof Myanmar) had already resided on Pulau Penang when Francis Light took possession of the island and named it the “Prince of Wales Island” on the 12th ofAugust 1786.The Burmese were found among early foreign inhabitants when the British arrived tothis island. They reportedly built a Burmese temple in Burmese village namely“Kampong Ava” to fulfil their spiritual needs. The old Dhammikarama Burmese Temple (1803) at Burma Lane, Penang, which survives to this day, becomes the landmark of the earliest religious establishment of Burmese community in British Malaya. After some decades, another Burmese temple was established in Singapore.The huge marble Buddha image in the Maha Sasana Ramsi Burmese BuddhistTemple is a strong evidence of the spread of Burmese Theravada Buddhism to Singapore during 19th century.This paper will highlight the spread of Theravada Buddhism in Malaysia andSingapore (once referred to as British Malaya). Burmese and local devotees observe Buddhist traditions, in particular, basic learning of Dhamma by chanting Buddhist prayers and making offerings; and by practising of Vipassana meditation or insight meditation.In addition, the paper will offer a brief study as to why and how Burmese Theravada Buddhism can co-exist and remain relevant in multi-racial and multi-religioussocieties for over two centuries.
