Mūladvāra Nikāya

Dhammavinayānuloma Mūladvāra Nikāya Gaing (Burmese: ဓမ္မဝိနယာနုလောမမူလဒွါရနိကာယဂိုဏ်း), also known as Mula Dwaya Gaing or Mūla Dvāra Gaing, is a monastic order of the sangha in Buddhism in Myanmar. According to the 1990 Law Relating to the Sangha Organization, it is one of the nine legally recognized monastic orders in the country.

The order was founded by Ingapu Sayadaw after he broke away from the Mahādvāra Nikāya following the death of Okpo Sayadaw, primarily due to disagreements regarding the schedule for observing the uposatha.
