Aha Bodhi Dhamma Samiti (ABDS) is a trust registered under the Indian Trust Act and was launched in Chennai, India by the well-wishers of Buddhism and Truth seekers. ABDS is primarily a spiritual organisation rather than a religious institution. The main objective of the organization is presenting Buddhist Meditation to the world without making any denomination (subsect) such as Theravada, Mahayana, Zen and so on. Our thrust is to give only practical aspects of Buddhism. This obviously means Buddhist Meditation and Mindfulness of breath.

Various meditative techniques from the scriptures of Buddhism and from the works of commentators have been collected, pre-sorted and included in the courses conducted by our organization.

The techniques from Tibetan Yoga, especially breathing techniques like "Thumo" and other mild breathing meditations have been collected from major scriptures like "Secret Doctrine".
