Dhamm±laya, meaning 'Abode of Dhamma', is serenely set in 22 acres of State Park Zone land, with a view of blue hills, green fields and sounds of mewing of peacocks and other bird song. The Centre, moved to this location since 2001, is five kms from Hatkanangale bus station and 6.5 kms from Hatkananglale Railway station where all trains from Mumbai and Pune halt.

The centre consists of a fan shaped Dhamma Hall with curved slab that can comfortably accommodate 250 students. At present ten blocks with single and double bedrooms, all with attached toilet, for 72 male and 30 female students have been completed. A mini Dhamma Hall can serve 30 students for one-day courses. A Pagoda is under construction. Out of the planned 153 cells, 38 are ready. The Centre conducts two 10-days courses and one 1-day course monthly. Long courses are being planned for the near future.
