Myanmar Dhamma Studies
A Myanmar community that gathers at Mangala Vihara, keeping company on the path and studying the Buddha's teachings.
With the dedication to spreading Dhamma knowledge, MDS is running programmes covering Abhidhamma, Honours, and Visuddhimagga, offering the Myanmar community in Singapore a meaningful opportunity:
- To study and internalise the profound truths of the Buddha's doctrine.
- To enrich their minds with Dhamma wisdom, navigate daily life with mindfulness, and apply moral teachings in practical ways.
- To receive essential, structured guidance that enhances the listening of Dhamma discourses, nurtures right action, and builds a firm foundation for Samatha and Vipassanā meditation.
Myanmar Dhamma Studies gathers members of the temple's Myanmar community around the study of Abhidhamma and the Visuddhimagga. The group has served as an examination centre for the Myanmar Ministry of Religious Affairs' Abhidhamma exams since 2012.
Classes are led by a team of teachers, among them Ven. Cakkapāla, Ven. Kumāra, Ven. Ñāṇavara, and Daw MarLar Aung.

MDS meets on Saturdays and Sundays, 2.00pm to 8.30pm, across the Chew Quee Neo Hall, the Subhadda Room, and Room 3. Lessons are also recorded, so members who cannot attend in person may follow along online.
