The university was established on December 9, 1998 at Dhammapala Hill in Yangon, near Sacred Tooth Relic Pagoda. Myanmar has carefully preserved Theravada Buddhism for nearly 1000 years and is now sharing its knowledge, in both theory and practice, with people from around the world to promote happiness and moral well-being.
