As a qualified meditation teacher who naturally empathizes with the concerns and needs of Western meditators, he combines his long training and life experience to bring together a practical, in-depth approach to the teaching of Vipassanā meditation. In February 2005, he founded and is the resident teacher monk at Bodhi Tree Forest Monastery and Community Retreat Centre near Lismore in Northern New South Wales, Australia.
Venerable Pannyavaro is the webmaster and founder of BuddhaNet.net, a computer information network which was established in 1993. BuddhaNet was the first Buddhist BBS (Bulletin Board System) which later evolved into Australia's first Buddhist website. This electronic Buddhist Information and Education Service on the Internet's World Wide Web is now one of the largest and most popular Buddhist website in the world with over 800,000 strikes per day. He has also established and runs the Buddhist eLibrary and the World Buddhist Directory websites.
We hope you take advantage of the wonderful sharing in store for you.
