Sayādaw Thuzana is the current Abbot of Tathāgata Meditation Center (TMC). Before coming to TMC in May 2011, he was the chief meditation master at Malaysian Buddhist Meditation Center (MBMC) in Penang, Malaysia from 2003 to 2010. From 2000 to 2003, he was an assistant to the late Sayadawgyi Panditābhivamsa at Hse-mine-gone Meditation Center in Bago, Myanmar. In this capacity, he taught Vipassanā meditation to many local and foreign yogis.

The retreat program consists of Vipassanā meditation practice, Dhamma talks, interviews, questions and answers. The daily practice during the retreat starts at 5 A.M. and ends at 10 P.M. Interested yogis should fill out the enclosed registration form and mail it back with full retreat fee to TMC as soon as possible. The center will inform yogis about their status by August 15, 2024.

For those yogis planning to attend right from the beginning of the first day of the retreat, please check in between 5 P.M. and 9:00 P.M. on August 31, 2024. Room assignment and orientation packet will be handed out upon checking in with the TMC’s retreat coordinator or registrar at the office.
