ABOUT SPEAKER Bhante Sangāmaji was born and raised in Vienna, Austria. After some studies and a search for a good and meaningful way of living, being disenchanted with the primary focus on material wellbeing so prevalent in society, he stumbled into a small forest monastery in Sri Lanka in 1998 at the age of twenty-four. The teachings of the Buddha and meditation practice seemed to him to make so much sense, answer many questions and solve the fundamental problems in life. So, the same year he ordained there as a novice under Bhikkhu Kaṭukurunde Ñāṇananda and received higher ordination in 2000. He has since lived for about seventeen years in forest monasteries and solitary hermitages in Sri Lanka and about eight years in monasteries and a meditation center in Southeast Asia (Thailand and Malaysia), Europe, the United States and Australia. His main interests are in how the mind works, how to free oneself from suffering (dukkha) and how to practically apply the discourses of the Buddha (Suttas) to realize the end of all suffering (dukkhanirodha). He is presently living in Newbury Buddhist Monastery, staying there until the end of April.
