Ajahn Vīradhammo’s life journey has been profoundly shaped by his encounters with Buddhism. This transformative odyssey commenced in 1969, when he first embraced the teachings of the Buddha through Sāmanera Bodhesako in India.

In 1973, he embarked on a new chapter as a novice at Thailand’s Wat Mahathat, culminating in his full bhikkhu ordination in 1974 at Wat Pah Pong, guided by the Venerable Ajahn Chah. As a pioneer among the earliest residents of Wat Pah Nanachat, an internationally recognised monastery, he set the course for his impactful journey.

Ajahn Vīradhammo played vital roles in establishing renowned monasteries such as Chithurst and Harnham in the UK. In 1985, an invitation from the Wellington Theravāda Buddhist Association beckoned him to New Zealand, where he dedicated a decade to establishing Bodhinyānārāma monastery.

His unwavering commitment to the teachings led him to serve alongside esteemed mentors, including assisting Ajahn Sumedho at Amarāvati in the UK. These diverse experiences have enriched his wisdom and broadened its application across various contexts.

Having traversed continents and decades, his journey, which also encompassed caring for his mother, has now found its abode at Tisarana Buddhist Monastery.
