Cambodia Kampong Cham Goenka (S.N. Goenka) donation

Dhamma Kamboja, meaning 'Dhamma in Cambodia,' offers a unique opportunity for meditation in a rural Cambodian setting. This center, which began holding courses in 2015, is a relocation and continuation of an earlier Cambodian Dhamma center from the 1990s. It provides a space for 10-day courses and children's courses, guided by local Cambodian Assistant Teachers, as well as those from Europe and the USA. Occasionally, Assistant Teachers from other countries also lead retreats. The center runs by donation, making these teachings accessible to a wide range of individuals seeking to deepen their practice. Its development in a tranquil village environment, away from the bustle of Phnom Penh, creates an ideal atmosphere for focused meditation.
