Notes

• ~400 locations — includes both established meditation centers (center) and itinerant non-center locations (noncenter) where courses are held periodically.
• Coordinates — lat/lng sourced from the dhamma.org interactive map page and merged by subdomain key. All locations have coordinates.
• is_active — true when a course schedule link is available on dhamma.org; false for locations without an active schedule (temporary closures, newly established sites, historical listings).
• No authentication required — dhamma.org is public and server-rendered. No proxy needed.
