Dhamma Manorama ('pleasant, delightful environment of Dhamma') is on the west bank of the Toe River, a tributary of the Ayeyarwady, in Maubin Township, Ayeyarwady Region, about 46 miles from Yangon. It stands on the corner of 3rd Street and the Yangon-Maubin highway, three-eighths of a mile from the Maubin jetty. Its first course was held on 2 October 2009. The main building has two storeys (42 by 80 feet), with the Dhamma hall on the upper floor and dormitories for men and women on the ground floor; a dining room (30 by 50 feet) and a kitchen stand beside it. dhamma.org lists course instructions in English and Burmese. The centre's schedule page has sections for children's Anapana courses (ages 8 to 16), teenagers' 7-day courses (ages 17 to 20), short courses for old students, 10-day courses and non-centre courses, though as of October 2026 none are listed.
