Mahamevnawa Bhavana Monastery of California

Dhammawood Meditation Center of California (Mahamevnawa Bhavana Monastery of California) is a non-profit organization based out in Riverside CA, dedicated to fostering individual spiritual development through meditation and the ancient teachings of the Buddha. Our mission is to provide a serene space for everyone, regardless of background or experience, to cultivate a calm and peaceful mind.

We’re excited to share the transformative power of meditation through free programs offered by our monks in various cities. Our current Riverside space is limited to 70 people per session, so we’re aiming to expand the Dhammawood Meditation Center to accommodate more participants. Your generous contribution will help us build or acquire a larger hall, allowing us to reach more individuals and provide a welcoming space for spiritual growth.

We offer several Free Programs for All and also community events like blood donation campaigns, life release events.

We're thrilled to share the transformative power of meditation. Our monks travel to Irvine and various cities, offering these programs free of charge. But we often face difficulties with booking larger conference halls to accommodate as many people as possible. Our current space in Riverside CA is limited, accommodating only up to 70 people per session.

To reach more individuals and create a welcoming space for spiritual growth, we are embarking on a journey to expand the Dhammawood Meditation Center. Our goal is to build or acquire a larger conference hall that can host a greater number of participants, allowing us to extend our offerings to the community.

How You Can Help: Your generous contribution will directly support the expansion of our meditation center. By building or purchasing a larger space, we can create a more inclusive environment and enhance our ability to provide free programs that promote peace and mindfulness.

Please join us in Building a Calmer World: Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our goal. Let's come together to support the expansion of Dhammawood Meditation Center and make a positive impact on the well-being of individuals in our community.

Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a more peaceful world!
