Dhamma Shwe

Dhamma Shwe ('the golden Dhamma') is a centre for Vipassana as taught by S. N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin. dhamma.org lists it in Sagaing Region, and the centre's own website calls it the "Dhamma Shwe Centre - Middle Myanmar". Both give its address only as Kandaw Road, without naming a town. dhamma.org lists its first course on 4 February 2016. Neither source describes the site, its size or its facilities. As of October 2026 the centre's dhamma.org page lists no courses of any kind, and the page was last updated in January 2021, so write to the centre (its site gives info@shwe.dhamma.org) before planning a visit. The centre's site says courses are run on donations only, with no charge even for food and accommodation.

How to apply

Apply online through the centre's page on dhamma.org (in Nepal, start from np.dhamma.org). New students must first complete a 10-day course, and there is no charge.
