Malaysia Dhamma Society (MDS) [formerly known as Kuching Bhagavan Buddhist Society (KBBS)] is a Theravada Buddhist organization established in 1997 by a group of Buddhist enthusiasts to promote the Buddha’s teaching.

MDS aims at providing a conducive place for monastics and laypersons to learn the Buddha’s teachings which strongly emphasizes on the practice of generosity, morality and wisdom (which includes meditation). Meditation, when taught and practiced in a correct way, helps to develop spiritual and mental growth that can bring about sustainable harmony to our society as a whole. Therefore, a proper meditation centre in a conducive environment is essential.
