Dhamma Bhubaneshwar

Dhamma Bhubaneshwar, meaning 'Universal Lord of Dhamma', is at Kantabada village (via Baghamari) in Khordha district, Odisha, about 50 km from Bhubaneswar, the state capital, which the centre's site describes as the place where Chanda Ashoka became Dhamma Ashoka. The centre sits on 5 acres surrounded by mango orchards. Its first 10-day course was held in June 2016, and it accommodates nearly 30 students. Ten-day courses are taught in Hindi and Odia, and other courses in Hindi and English. As of 2026 the schedule is almost entirely 10-day courses, with occasional Satipatthana Sutta courses for experienced old students. The course schedule page lists local auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers whom students can contact for travel to and from the centre.

How to apply
