Dhamma Ratana

Dhamma Ratana ('jewel of Dhamma') is in the Okpo Monastery in Myoma Quarter, on Roman Catholic Church Road, in Mogok, Mandalay Region, a town known as the land of rubies. S. N. Goenka and his wife gave the Anapana instructions at its first course, which began on 27 June 1996, and dhamma.org says courses have been held there regularly since. It accommodates 80 students. Besides 10-day courses, dhamma.org lists courses for old students, Anapana courses for children and Sangha courses, which are only for monks. The centre's website gives a contact address in Yangon, on Nga Htat Gyi Pagoda Road in Bahan Township. As of October 2026 its dhamma.org schedule page lists no courses.
