Welcome to the Universal Mindfulness Village. (UMV) Whether you are eating, driving, working, resting, or engaging in any day-to-day activity, we offer a simple tool "being mindful", to help you live 100 per cent with full of momentum and blossom mindset. We are building a village without borders where happiness is intrinsic, not dependent on the world around you.
About Us
From the forest to
the global village
Our journey has been a total success story. It began years ago in the deep quiet forest monastery. The concept that would become UMV was designed by our spiritual teacher, and a founder, Ven. Udairiyagama Dhammajiva Maha Thero. He spent over 40 years mastering Buddhist meditation being a forest monk. He had attained higher levels of practice and wanted to share it across the world.
How do you take something complex and make it accessible to everyone? Satipasala "mindfulness school" was the first initiative in this endeavour. Our Founder structured a mechanism to share this wisdom in a way that was simple, interactive, and joyful.
What started as a small local program to share authentic mindfulness practice quickly gained national and international recognition.
Today, that movement — the Universal Mindfulness Village (UMV) — has begun its global expansion, proving that inner peace is truly beyond all borders.

Founder
Ven. Udairiyagama Dhammajiva Maha Thero
Mindfulness is a universal practice that is not limited to culture, language, or religion. The goal is to share this practice globally in an authentic and practical way. Having dedicated over 40 years to mastering meditation, I have seen that mindfulness transforms lives, strengthens families, and guides societies toward compassion and balance. Our vision is simple: to see mindfulness flourish in every home, school, workplace, and nation. We are the International Messenger for Mindfulness, bringing this ancient wisdom to the modern world.
