Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastic Order
The Founder of the 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.
