Tibetan Buddhism in Singapore

  I've been to a number of Tibetan Buddhist centres but I find they're usually full of aunties and uncles praying and making offerings just like a Taoist temple. Is there anywhere to learn and discuss Tibetan Buddhism seriously? Preferably with more young, English speaking people who aren't just focused on rituals and accumulating blessings from the lamas.

  Dear mist,
  
  I understand the situation you are in
  
  Maybe you can try thekchen choling
  
  or
  Amitabha Buddhist Centre, there is more young people there ,also becos of young rinpoche around there
  
  Actually throughout all the tradition , facing the same problem with little youth and most of them are old bodhisattva

  Since Mist is tibetan , maybe he/she wont like to go theravada
  
  maybe PKS youth ministry ,that is mahayana
  
  or you can go Singapore Buddhist Mission Youth group, Theravada with abit of Mahayana
