What is “Metta”?
“Metta” in Pali means “loving kindness”.
 
Metta Welfare Association
Metta Welfare Association (Metta) was founded in 1992 by Venerable Shi Fa Zhao, Abbot of Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple and President of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (Singapore).

Registered as a charity in 1994, Metta is endorsed by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Education (MOE). We are also members of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), Singapore Hospice Council and Singapore Disability Sports Council.
