Building Progress

Our Building Progress

Stage 20: Add in colors to Buddha Throne (Aug 2025)




and making chairs and tables for this building, and beds for the adjunct guest/worker room.


Stage 19: Using the dining hall which is WIP







STAGE 18: Repair and extend the main road to Aggācāra (Jan 2025 to March 2025)

The two-wheel-accessible original road (shown below) is too narrow. Cars occasionally have a tendency to fall into the roadside drain. For this reason, the road has been enlarged and the drain has been constructed appropriately. Donors and guests can arrive with ease in the future.

It is completed in March 2025.

STAGE 17: building of dining hall as on Jan 2025 (still in progress, started in Jan 2024)

The dining hall's development is still at a standstill because of the high cost of building materials. It is usable and functional. The whole building still requires painting, ceramic tile installation, and the first floor needs an additional layer of foundation to protect from rain.

Stage 14: Building a Pagoda on the top of the education building on May 2023. 















Stage 13: Due to frequent rain leakage due to the holes in between the smartboards, we decided to upgrade the upper storey of Dhamma hall. The outside will be pasted with ceramic tiles. And we have completed the upgrading just in time for the Myanmar new year meditation retreat (April 2023). And donors donated a Buddha rupa and Buddha throne for the upper storey of this Dhamma hall.

Dhamma Reflection: The Four Types of Kamma in Our Lives

Let me share a story that illustrates how these four types of kamma manifest in our daily lives. In Buddhist teachings, there are four types of kamma that shape our experiences: Productive kamma (Janaka), Supportive kamma (Upatthambhaka), Obstructive kamma (Upapilaka), and Destructive kamma (Upaghataka).  There was a young girl who came to stay at an education center at the age of 9. She was fortunate to receive good food and quality education from various teachers. Her loving mother supported her education wholeheartedly and constantly encouraged her to continue her studies.
