Thabarwa Center is open full-time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week without recess. It is the sanctuary for persons from all regions of Myanmar who seek refuge for care and attention and desire to practice meditation.
The center provides sanctuary for more than 2,400 yogis (as of February 2014) including aged persons, sick, infirm, blind, deaf, disabled, mental cases, homeless and helpless. Sanctuary is provided without discrimination or restriction as to number, time, age, health condition, nationality, social status, religion, etc.
Food, lodging and teaching are provided free of charge.
It is the place where volunteers can donate their skills, time, energy, labor, money and materials to gain merit and practice meditation for a worthy cause, and to look after the welfare of the residents taking refuge at Thabarwa Center. Thabarwa channels the money and materials received in donations to provide a peaceful venue for people to practice Dhamma without worry.
The meditation practiced at the centre is Vipassana Meditation or Mindfulness Meditation based on Sattipatthana Sutta and the Mahasi Sayadaw method. Meditators meditate from 4.00h a.m. until 9.00h p.m. Sitting and walking meditation are alternated. The rest of the time will be filled with an attentive and slow performance of daily routines such as getting up, washing, getting dressed, eating, taking a shower and so on. It is very important to create a continuous and uninterrupted attentiveness at all times and during every possible activity.
The instructions, interviews, and Dhamma talks of Sayadaw U Indaka are translated into English. When Ven. Virañani is present, she can provide instruction in English, and also understands French. When Ariya Baumann is at the centre, she gives talks in English and can also offer one-on-one instructions in Swiss German, German, and French.
The aim of the society is to conduct Vipassana discourses annually as well as to perform various religious activities under the guidance of our Venerable Chanmyay Sayadaw. The main aims are as follows.
1. To create a meditation center for the yogis to practice meditation any day whole year round.
2. To have residing Sayadaws who can teach Vipassana meditation in English, Burmese and Chinese.
3. To conduct teaching sessions on Buddhism, Burmese tradition and Culture, and Myanmar language to overseas Myanmar children.

Pada tahun 1996, Sayalay Dipankara mulai mengajarkan Dhamma dan membimbing retreat meditasi di berbagai negara.
Pada tahun 2006, Sayalay Dipankara mendirikan Brahma Vihari Meditation Centre di Maymyo, Myanmar, dengan tujuan untuk menyelenggarakan retret meditasi jangka panjang berskala internasional.
Sampai dengan sekarang ini, Sayalay Dipankara sering diundang untuk membimbing retret meditasi di Amerika Serikat, Kanada, Inggris, Jerman, Australia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Jepang, Korea, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapura, Indonesia, dll.
Dengan tujuan untuk penyebaran Dhamma dan penyelenggaraan retreat meditasi jangka panjang kepada masyarakat Indonesia dan masyarakat dari negara lainnya secara lebih luas, maka Brahma Vihari Meditation Centre Indonesia (BVMCI) didirikan pada bulan April 2014.
Brahma Vihari Meditation Centre located in Muar, Malaysia, was established in August 2015 by a group of Buddhists who appreciate deeply the teachings of the Buddha and aspire to support each other in the learning and practice of the Buddha’s teachings, especially in the area of meditation.
The society has been highly blessed with the strong support and close guidance from Sayalay Dipankara, an outstanding disciple of a great and highly respected meditation master, Ven. Pa-Auk Sayadaw of Myanmar.
From the linage of Sakyamuni Buddha, Sayalay teaches both Samatha (Concentration) and Vipassana (Insight) Meditation in a step-by-step manner. The objects of meditation commonly given to beginners are Anapanasati (Mindfulness of Breathing) or the Four Elements. The yogis will then be guided through the stages of purification and insight-knowledges. It is indeed a very precious and profound practice.
Sayalay Dīpaṅkara generously extends her good conditions to other practitioners by conceptualizing, designing, and overseeing the construction of what is now the Brahma Vihārī Meditation Centre at Maymyo, Myanmar. Meditators benefited from her deeper intentions and abided unknowingly in the conditions, true to the Visuddhimagga and the Tipiṭaka.
In devoting her energy in sharing the Dhamma worldwide, students are able to stay within Brahma Vihārī for longer retreats through acts of dana. The rest of the year, Sayalay travels to the people who wish to learn, leaving little time for herself for self-practice and rest.
Sayalay teaches the forty kammaṭṭhāna leading to samādhi and vipassanā practice, and many other qualities a Buddhist needs to know and embody.
In a silent environment, this retreat consists of insight meditation (Vipassana) in the four primary postures, one to one meetings with the teacher (s), daily talks, inquiry and comprehensive instructions with teachings on mindfulness, the depths of inner experience and liberation. Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators.
