Successfully completed VMC 9-day retreat.
VMC Sayadaw has given Dhamma talk on Seven Factors of Enlightenment and how to establish these seven requisites.

The Seven Factors of Enlightenment (Bojjhangas) are mental qualities—Mindfulness, Investigation, Energy, Joy, Tranquility, Concentration, and Equanimity—developed to reach full liberation. They function as a balanced system, with mindfulness as the core regulator, leading to insight and the cessation of suffering.

The Seven Factors of Enlightenment:

1.Mindfulness (Sati): Constant awareness of the body and mind.
2.Investigation (Dhamma-vicaya): Analysis of mental and physical phenomena to distinguish skillful from unskillful states.
3.Energy (Viriya): Sustained effort or diligence in practice, often paired with investigation to break through lethargy.
4.Joy (Pīti): Rapture or delight that arises when the mind becomes absorbed and energized.
5.Tranquility (Passaddhi): A calming, cooling effect on the body and mind.
6.Concentration (Samādhi): A focused, settled, and unified mind, often developed after the surge of Joy.
7.Equanimity (Upekkhā): A state of perfect balance and non-reactivity.

VMC Public Opening Ceremony – Part 3

Community Celebration & Saṅgha Dāna

The morning concluded with a joyful community gathering over snacks and fellowship, followed by the offering of lunch dāna to the Sayadaws.

It was heartening to witness devotees coming together — reconnecting, serving, and rejoicing in shared merits. The spirit of generosity (dāna) and harmony beautifully reflected the strength of our community.

May the wholesome merits generated through this offering support the flourishing of the Buddha Sāsana and the continued growth of wisdom and compassion in all our hearts.

We rejoice in the merits together.
Sādhu, Sādhu, Sādhu 🙏

VMC Public Opening Ceremony – Part 2

Dhamma Talk on Unshakable Faith

Following the blessing ceremony, Mahanayaka Aung Si Sayadawgyi delivered a Dhamma talk on the theme of unshakable faith (aveccappasāda).

He reminded us that true faith is not blind belief, but confidence grounded in understanding — faith in the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha that remains steady amidst changing conditions. Such faith supports perseverance in practice and strengthens our commitment to walking the Noble Path.

As VMC enters this new chapter with an expanded space, may we all deepen our inner foundation — cultivating wisdom and unwavering confidence in the Dhamma.

Sādhu Sādhu Sādhu 🙏

On 23 February 2026, VMC formally initiated the opening of our newly expanded Ground Floor unit with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by most Venerable Mahanayaka Aung Si Sayadawgyi together with invited Sayadaws.

With deep gratitude and reverence, we welcomed the Sangha to bless and inaugurate the space, marking an important milestone in VMC’s continued growth and commitment to the preservation and practice of the Dhamma. The ceremony was conducted in a spirit of humility, harmony, and dedication to the Buddha Sāsana.

This expansion represents the collective merits of countless devotees and supporters who have contributed in various ways. May this newly opened space serve as a sanctuary for meditation, learning of the Dhamma, and the cultivation of wisdom for many years to come.

We rejoice in the merits of all devotees who made this possible.
Sādhu, Sādhu, Sādhu 🙏
