ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Bhante Buddhavihāri was born in Devanagala, Sri Lanka. He took novice ordination at Na Uyana Forest Monastery in 2005, and higher ordination in 2006, with Most Venerable Māwathagama Guṇānanda Mahāthera as preceptor. 

After higher ordination, he practised meditation at Na Uyana for several years and then went to a nearby forest monastery to study Vinaya (the monastic disciplinary rules) and Pāli (the language of the Theravada Buddhist scriptures). 

After finishing his studies, he moved to Pa Auk Main Centre, Mawlamyaine, and practised meditation under the guidance of various certified meditation instructors. Upon returning to Sri Lanka, he was invited to establish a new Na Uyana branch in the town of Pelmadulla, Ratnapura District. Along with one other monk, he spent more than three years building up the centre from an empty plot of rain forest to its present status of a functioning forest monastery.

 Over the years, he has travelled to various countries to spread the Dhamma, including the United States, Indonesia and Malaysia. At present, he resides at Dhamsuwa Meditation Centre on the outskirts of Melbourne.
