The Dhamma Sukha Meditation Centre (DSMC) Australia is an urban-based meditation centre for the practice of Vipassana or Insight meditation. We have a residential centre in Springvale, Victoria, Australia and in March 2010, commenced the Manohara Forest Meditation Centre in Plenty, Victoria dedicated to the study and practice of Buddhist teachings and meditation. We are of the Theravadan Buddhism tradition.

Started in 2003, DSMC functions as a Dhamma school, providing Buddhist teaching for the moral development of devotees and children. DSMC also aims to provide facilities for educating and training of Buddhist monks.

DSMC offers a broad range of practice and community activities. This includes a weekly schedule of meditation sessions, dhamma talks (talks on Buddhist teaching and practice), classes, group discussions, and a variety of meditation and study retreats.

The support of our teachers and all our centre expenses is done through the voluntary donations of our community.

DSMC is guided by resident Abbot Sayadaw U Pandita and deputy abbot Sayadaw U Dhammananda. The medium of instruction is in English.
