This is the heart of the Path.
The Buddha
The Buddha Represents Our inner Nature. This aspect of ourselves that is Totally at peace. As we connect with and appreciate Buddha Nature. We can naturally feel more Empowered and confident to continue walking this path of ending suffering even in the face of Adversity or Difficulty. So this is called taking refuge in the Buddha.
The Sangha
Sangha meant the community of Buddhist Monks, traditionally who had experienced deep awakening and embody peace together. What does it mean for you? For us, Sangha is a community of practitioners and sincere beings on the path of ending suffering.
The Dharma
The Dharma is the teachings, the ways and means and skillful advises, the emobodied shared wisdom from teachers and peoplee who have had success on the path. As we rely on or take refuge in the Dharma then we bring into our life the teachings on how to live and deal with ending suffering.

Thabarwa Center, founded by Sayadaw Ashin Ottamathara in 2007, represents a significant movement within contemporary Buddhism, particularly in Myanmar. The inception of Thabarwa (meaning “Real Dhamma”) Center arose from Sayadaw’s deep commitment to practicing and teaching vipassana insight meditation, following his transformative experiences with meditation and his decision to ordain as a monk in 2002 after three years of intense practice.
