Just a 20-minute walk from Mogok's main road, this center provides a serene environment for deep meditation. With a pagoda featuring 117 individual cells and two Dhamma halls, the facilities are designed to support focused practice. The center is continually expanding, with plans to add more single rooms and enlarge the dining area, ensuring a comfortable stay for all practitioners. Here, the emphasis is on Vipassana as an "Art of Living," a universal remedy for life's challenges, as taught over 2500 years ago. It's a place to truly see things as they are, fostering profound self-discovery.
