Dhamma Makuta

Dhamma Makuta ('crown of Dhamma') is on 22 acres of hillside in Mintadar Quarter, Mogok, in Mandalay Region, a 20-minute walk from the town's main road. Its first course began on 5 April 2000. The centre has two Dhamma halls and a pagoda with 117 cells, and dhamma.org's description gives accommodation for 60 men and 70 women, plus 30 single rooms with attached bathrooms; the same text says the centre planned to add another 30 single rooms and extend the dining hall. dhamma.org lists course instructions in Hindi, English and Burmese. The centre's schedule page has sections for children's Anapana courses (ages 8 to 16), teenagers' 7-day Vipassana courses (ages 17 to 20), short courses of one to three days for old students and 10-day courses, though as of October 2026 none are listed. Besides its Mogok address, the centre's website gives a contact address care of Dhamma Joti, on Nga Htat Gyi Pagoda Road in Bahan Township, Yangon.
