About MTBS

 

The Mahamuni Theravada Buddhist Monastery is one of Theravada Buddhist monasteries in Saint Paul city, Minnesota, USA, established in 2019 by Mahamuni Theravada Buddhist Society (MTBS) with the help of the Arakanese community in the Minnesota and Wisconsin areas.

Venerable Dr. Ashin Varabuddhi, the abbot of the Mahamuni Theravada Buddhist Monastery, is conducting the religious services and teaching of the Dhamma from its beginning. We also conduct weekly Dhamma Talk program on every Saturday of all year round where devotees come and listen Dhamma talk and do some offering.

The MTBS serves anyone interested in studying and practicing Buddhism and opens to provide for the spiritual, religious, meditation and educational needs of everyone of all faiths. The MTBS serves the diverse spiritual needs of all Buddhists and non-Buddhists with warm and spiritual openness.
