​  Welcome to Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center

​

    ​      Bhante Vimalaramsi is the abbot of Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center in Annapolis, Missouri. He is the guide for the on-site residential retreats. He teaches Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (T.W.I.M.) which uses the "Mindfulness of Lovingkindness" practice (otherwise known as the practice of the Brahma Viharas) for the journey to Nibbāna. Happiness arises as the burden of the ego melts away. Bhante talks about the benefits of using Metta here vs. the breath.  Metta is much faster and easier for the path to awakening. Metta is not just a "feel-good" practice; it is the direct path to the unconditioned (SN 46.54(4)).
          
      The Summer Retreat schedule is coming to an end with only just a few spaces left for Aug & Sept (check schedule on app). You can also you take a  9 day  Online retreat, offered monthly, available for practicing Metta and Forgiveness. See our registration retreat pages for further details. Asia, India and UK, with Bhante, are all coming up - more info below under retreats.
