Meditation Teacher -The founder mahamevnawa monastic order

The Founder of

Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastic Order

Most Venerable Kiribathgoda Gnānānanda Thero is the founder of the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastic Order. He was born in Sri Lanka in 1961.

After a traditional Sri Lankan monastic education, while studying for the Sinhala Honours Degree at Sri Jayawardhanapura University, he had an unexpected opportunity to read the Buddha’s discourses in the Pāli Canon; because of this, he abandoned temple life and began to frequent forest monasteries and hermitages, offering his life to the Dhamma with a great desire to practice it.

I’m new to meditation and I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was welcoming, I love the monk’s speaking voice, and when he speaks softly, I can feel myself calming down.
