Dhammakaya Tradition

The Dhammakaya Tradition is a Buddhist movement emphasizing meditative practices aimed at developing inner peace, wisdom, and ethical living. It traces its roots to Thailand and promotes the practice of visualization and concentration on the "central point" within the body, believed to lead to spiritual enlightenment. Central teachings include understanding the nature of the mind, cultivating compassion, and achieving a harmonious balance between meditation and everyday life. The tradition underscores the importance of personal experience in realizing the Dhamma (truth), encouraging dedication to meditation practices that foster mental clarity and spiritual growth.
