Dhamma Sudhalaya

Dhamma Sudhālaya ('Dhamma house of ambrosia') was founded in 2019 as the eleventh centre in Thailand in S. N. Goenka's tradition. It is on 16 acres at Ban Bueng Lom in Lat Yao district, north-west of Nakhon Sawan in lower northern Thailand, away from the village among quiet farmland. The centre is about 330 km (a three-and-a-half-hour drive) from Bangkok and 46 km, about an hour, from the city of Nakhon Sawan, which has bus and rail links; the Lat Yao bus terminal is 6.5 km from the centre. Meditators donated the land and the cost of building. The first group sitting was held in February 2019. The centre's own pages give March 2025 for its first 3-day course and June 2025 for its first 10-day course, while the dhamma.org directory gives 2024 as its first course year. It holds 96 students (72 women and 24 men). As of October 2026, dhamma.org's schedule shows 10-day courses, most with instructions in English and Thai, and 3-day courses for old students; the centre's site also lists Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta courses. Courses are run on donations, with no charge for teaching, food or lodging.

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.
