Current Projects

DSMC is a young centre and we are quickly growing in both our activities. As DSMC grows, the centre infrastructure also needs to expand to meet the growing needs of the members.

Below are some projects which we are currently undertaking. All projects are funded
by the kind donations of our members and fellow dhamma farers.

If you would like to help towards these current projects, please contact us here

Forever Land Project
Dhamma Sukha Meditation Centre has started a project to complete the mortgage for the centre. To meet this objective, the land has been 'parceled' up and put up for donation for each plot to donors.

The current premise is symbolically subdivided into plots and the plots are set up for sponsorship by donors. In this way, our donors can assist DSMC to contribute to the early release of our mortgage. With metta.

DSMC Interview Room & Library

>> Status: Almost complete.  Target completion: March 2010

DSMC has commenced the construction of the long-awaited interview room & library. Over the years, there has been an increasing number of long-term intensive meditators staying here and this facility would give both meditation teacher and students the privacy for discussion and serve as a conducive room for quiet study and reflection amongst the Dhamma books and Tipitaka. 

Status: Complete pending final inspection and approval.

Completed Projects
Back Courtyard, Garden & Wash Area (completed October 2009)

 

Special Thanks to David Maloney and Mr Than Hlaing, who started the project by coming in one weekend to crack up the old backyard.  AJH Lawyers donated the concreting costs for the floor.  Kyaw Kyaw and Adam assisted with the various engineering works.  Over the month of September, most of the breaking work was completed.  Many supporters helped with the work without employing a contractor — such physical effort is also true ‘dana’ from the heart.  Of course, our Sayadaw was there leading by example.

Colourbond Fencing (completed)

The old wooden fencing has been replaced in November 2008. The costs of the replacement was borne 50% each by DSMC and the adjacent neighbour. DSMC would like to thank the neighbour and donors for this project.
