Tha Yang, Phetchaburi, Thailand · Also called Dhamma Paṭhavī
Dhamma Pathavi ('soil of Dhamma') was founded in 2017 on a 12-acre former pineapple plantation in Tha Yang district, 180 km south of Bangkok, near Kaeng Krachan National Park. dhamma.org lists its first course in 2024, and it cannot yet accommodate students who do not speak Thai.
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.
Donation-funded 10-day courses taught with S. N. Goenka's recorded instructions, in the line of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, at centres in Nepal and worldwide. Read about Goenka (U Ba Khin).
