Goenka (U Ba Khin) · Residential centre
Dhamma Mahana
Ulaanbaatar, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia · Also called Vipassana Center Trust of Mongolia
Dhamma Mahana ('greatness of the Dhamma') is the Goenka-tradition centre that dhamma.org lists for Mongolia, run by the Vipassana Center Trust of Mongolia in Ulaanbaatar. dhamma.org gives 2005 as the year of its first course. The published addresses are contact addresses: dhamma.org gives a ninth-floor suite and a post office box in Ulaanbaatar, and the centre's own website gives suite 3 of the Naidan clinic at the Pethub Buddhist center, while its pages about the centre and directions read "Under construction" when checked in October 2026. The Vipassana Research Institute's directory gives an address in Songino Khairkhan district of Ulaanbaatar. An undated profile linked from that entry, headed Dhamma Maṅgala, places that address at the Mongolian Medical Centre and says that more than 200 students sat each of the first two courses in Mongolia, held at a campsite in 1997. No courses were scheduled on dhamma.org when checked in October 2026; the schedule gives English as the language of instruction.
