Meditation
for Inner Peace
In the gentle embrace of mindfulness, we find the power to shape our lives, like a potter crafting a vessel, shaping each moment with intention and care, filling the spaces between thoughts with kindness, and infusing our being with the beauty and wonder of the present.
About Us
How We Started
The Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastic Order was founded by Most Venerable Kiribathgoda Gnānānanda Thero, born in Sri Lanka in 1961. Following a conventional monastic education in Sri Lanka, during his Sinhala Honours Degree studies at Sri Jayawardhanapura University, he encountered the Buddha's teachings in the Pāli Canon unexpectedly. This experience led him to leave temple life behind and devote himself to the Dhamma, immersing himself in forest monasteries and hermitages with a strong determination to practice.
