View(s):Ven Ajahn Brahmali from the Bodhinyana Monastery, Perth, Australia will conduct a special programme at the BMICH Main Hall on Esala Poya day – Wednesday, July 1 from 7 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.
This programme will commence with a Dhamma talk followed by guided meditation. There will be a Q &A session before the conclusion of the programme.
Entrance passes issued free of charge can be collected from the Narada Centre on Sarana Road, off Bauddhaloka Mawatha and from the Sambuddhatva Jayanthi Bookshop at Thunmulla, a press release from Jayanath Warusavit-arna of the Ajahn Brahm Society of Sri Lanka says.
This is Ajahn Brahmali’s second visit to Sri Lanka. His programmes were well attended when he came to Sri Lanka two years ago.
Born in Norway in 1964, Ajahn Brahmaāli first became interested in Buddhism and meditation in his early 20s after a visit to Japan. He read for his Master’s degree in engineering and finance before renouncing the world of industry and commerce to be ordained as a bhikkhu in 1996 with Ajahn Brahmavamso as his preceptor. Ajahn Brahmali resides at Ajhan Brahm’s Bodhinyana Monastery in Perth, Australia and is one of the monks who conducts meditation retreats at the Jhana Grove, the meditation centre attached to the Monastery in Perth.
After the Poya programme in Colombo, Ajahn Brahmali will conduct an eight-day meditation retreat at Bandarawela for monks.
