Mahasantisukha Buddha Sasana Center

Mahāsantisukha Buddha Sasana Center is a Theravada Buddhist monastery located in Natchaung Ward, Tamwe Township, Yangon, Myanmar. The monastery was inaugurated on 17 December 1999, and was spearheaded under the leadership of Pannavamsa, and was sponsored with the support of the Burmese government.

Ownership dispute
Between 2002 and 2004, the government, under Khin Nyunt's guidance, confiscated the monastery and handed it to the State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee, a government body that oversees Burma's monastic population. In March 2014, Pannavamsa wrote to President Thein Sein to resolve the ownership conflict. ==Monastery raid==
Monastery raid
On 10 June 2014, 300 police and 280 Yangon Region Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee members and Ministry of Religious Affairs officials raided the monastery at 11 pm, evicting 20 monks and 32 laypersons from the site. One of the arrested monks, Uttara, is a British citizen. Religious affairs minister Hsan Sint was dismissed by Thein Sein on 19 June 2014 over his handling of the monastery raid and defiance of the president's orders. The dispute ended on 13/14 December 2015. A district court judged the charge invalid. ==References==
