​  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.
          
      Sign up for a 7-10 day on-site retreat (you don't need months of sitting with the way we teach!) with Bhante Vimalaramsi here in Missouri anytime starting May and ending October 1st. See full schedule below. Also 9 day monthly Online retreats are available for practicing Metta and Forgiveness. See our registration retreat pages for further details. Retreats are on your schedule. Single cabins can be requested no extra charge. $280 to $400 all inclusive More info ​
