Dhamma Translation and Publication 
    Aggācāra Dhamma Project as a non-profit Dhamma group strives to do Dhammadāna to the world because we sincerely believe that Dhamma is the best gift among all gifts. Since the Lord Buddha time, Theravāda Buddhism has been preserved for a long time in Myanmar and Myanmar is also renowned as a place to learn Pāḷi, Abhidhamma and practicing meditation. Our main project is to bring Dhamma talks and Dhamma books which exist in Myanmar and translate them into other languages. 

We also publish and distribute books from overseas. We also host good Dhamma books from various authors and translators. Our books can be downloaded at Academia too. The links are: https://independent.academia.edu/aggacara
