Our Mission

With enlightenment as an ultimate goal in life, Tathāgata Meditation Center’s (TMC) mission is as follows:

1. To promulgate the original teachings of the Buddha, especially the Vipassana meditation taught in the Mahāsatipaṭṭhāna Sutta by the Buddha and systematized by the late Mahasi Sayadaw.

2. To serve people spiritually by creating suitable conditions for learning the Buddha’s teachings and practicing Vipassana Meditation, such as organizing Dhamma classes, free distribution of Dhamma books, and especially organizing regular and special Vipassana meditation retreats.

​TMC welcomes people of all cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, racial identities, sexual orientation, gender, age, education, and abilities.
