Bhante Dhammawansha
Born in the District of Kandy, Sri Lanka, Bhante Dhammawansha became a monk at the age of 16. He studied at the Buddhist University, where he received a B.A. degree in Buddhism, History, Ethics and the languages of Sanskrit and Pali. His travels have taken him to Scandinavia, Russia, Australia, India, Nepal and Thailand, where he has taught the study of Dhamma (the truth taught by Buddha). He traveled to the United States for a personal retreat in 1996 and now conducts buddhist counseling, engages in social and interfaith work, and presents talks on Dhamma for high school students and drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers.
Bhante Dhammawansha, whose quiet kindly nature welcomes all, is Dhamma Wheel Meditation Society's resident monk, president, and inspiring teacher.
He is usually available for conversation and questions after most of our meditations, discussions or events.
