Description of the Retreat

The Malaysian Buddhist Meditation Centre (MBMC) is a non-profit institution dedicated to the teaching of Vipassana meditation – the Buddha’s cure for all human mental maladies, the Way to the End of All Ills.

Vipassana is a Pali word often translated as Insight. Hence, Vipassana meditation is Insight or Wisdom meditation. In these times of hectic activities, pressure and competition; of greed and delusion; of envy, hatred and conflicts, Vipassana should be very much welcomed as a soothing balm to cool our burning hearts and minds. Through Vipassana, we can develop a mind that is always serene, fearless and unshakeable. More importantly, we can gain profound Insight or Wisdom that can liberate us from all suffering, the Wisdom of Non-Attachment, Non-Clinging.

MBMC was founded by the late Venerable Phra Khru Dhammabarnchanvud (Luang Por) on 11 February 1969 and the Centre was officially opened by him on 3 October 1982. It is located at 355 Jalan Masjid Negeri (formerly known as Green Lane), 11600 Penang, Malaysia. It is adjacent to the Convent Green Lane Secondary School. The Centre is a three-storey building with spacious meditation halls and a large compound. The ladies’ quarters are sited in separate buildings (called ‘kutis’) nearby.

There are various traditions of Buddhist meditation based on the Buddha’s Teachings, leading ultimately to the supreme goal of Liberation. In MBMC, we practise the method laid down by the eminent Monk and Meditation Master, the late Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw Aggamahapandita of the famed Mahasi Meditation Centre, Yangon, Myanmar.

MBMC has the good fortune to have many illustrious meditation teachers who visited and taught Vipassana meditation at the Centre. Among them are Tipitaka Sayadaw U Vicittasabhivamsa; Sayadaw U Panditabhivamsa; Sayadaw U Wayaminda; Sayadaw U Thondara; Sayadaw U Nanaponika and Sayadaw U Pannathami. Besides the above visiting Sayadaws, MBMC is also fortunate to have Sayadaws who resided in the Centre as Religious Advisors and Meditation Teachers.
