BIOGRAPHY
Ven. Pāladhammika ordained at Sāsanārakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS), Taiping, Malaysia, in 2019, under the guidance of Āyasmā Ariyadhammika.
During his years at SBS, he developed a keen interest in understanding the Dhamma through its earliest sources, while putting the teachings into practice through study, meditation, and daily monastic life.
After several years at SBS, he spent the last two and a half years traveling and practising throughout Thailand, learning about the broader Theravāda tradition through time spent in different monasteries.

We all like to think we know ourselves. But how often do we tell ourselves stories that make reality easier to accept?
“I’m fine.”
“I don’t really care.”
“This is just who I am.”
“I had no choice.”
“I’ll deal with it later.”
Sometimes, the hardest person to be honest with is ourselves
Join Bhante Paladhammika for an evening of deep reflection and honest conversation in a safe space, as we explore how the mind can distort reality to protect our desires, identity and sense of self — and what it takes to see more clearly.
No perfect answers.
No pretending.
Just an honest look at the stories we tell ourselves. Because sometimes, the truth we avoid is the very truth that can set us free.
All are welcome! Come as you are. There's a place for you here.

Biography
Āyasmā Pāladhammika was born in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. He first discovered the Dhamma online at age 16. Thereafter he began watching videos of Āyasmā Yuttadhammo with whom he undertook his first meditation course in 2017 spending a total of 50 days in solitary practice. Thereafter, he spent 3 months in Sri Lanka, where he met with Āyasmā Ariyadhammika under whom he received Higher Ordination in 2019 at SBS Taiping.
Āyasmā Pāladhammika has been staying for most of his monastic life at SBS, undertaking the training and practice of a forest monk and over time has developed great understanding of the suttas, as well as the monastic training rules, the Vinaya.

On 18 Oct 2026, Ven. Vimuttadhammika explores the vital connection between wholesome emotions and daily Dharma practice, emphasising how cultivating positive states like loving-kindness, compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness can transform both inner peace and interpersonal relationships. The speaker explains that while unwholesome emotions such as greed, hatred, delusion, and anger create physical tension and hinder clear communication, recognising these sensations allows individuals to release them and open their hearts. Through guided reflection and meditation, practitioners learn to detect constriction in the chest and replace it with emotional balance and warmth. Personal anecdotes, including resolving tensions with his parents prior to ordination and turning an aggressive restaurant manager into a supportive ally, illustrate how maintaining an open, forgiven mindset diffuses conflict. Ultimately, nurturing these emotional qualities creates the mental stability required to deeply understand core Buddhist truths, such as impermanence, through manageable, daily mindfulness habits.
On 13 Oct 2026, Ven. Anuvidita explained the Buddhist concept of the five aggregates, which outline the fundamental reality of human existence. Through a traditional discourse known as the Lump of Foam Sutta, these components are compared to various fragile phenomena to illustrate their transient nature. Specifically, form is likened to river foam, feelings to water bubbles, perceptions to mirages, volitional formations to plantain tree trunks, and consciousness to magical illusions. By carefully investigating these aspects, practitioners can recognise their hollow and insubstantial qualities rather than viewing them as solid or permanent. Ultimately, understanding this illusory framework fosters disenchantment and detachment, leading the mind toward liberation and the cessation of suffering.
On 11 Oct 2026, Bro. Ananda Fong examines the dangers of blindly trusting information encountered on social media, connecting modern digital susceptibility to historical manipulation and the spread of unverified misinformation. He argues that excessive online consumption leads to brain rot, characterized by anxiety, fragmented attention, and diminished intellectual wellbeing. Drawing heavily upon Buddhist teachings, the speaker contrasts passive faith with active scrutiny and verification, emphasizing that individuals should personally test ideas rather than accept them at face value. Furthermore, it highlights that the Dhamma-Vinaya serves as a practical path for self-transformation, promoting mindfulness, moral conduct, and rational investigation over dogma. Ultimately, the discourse encourages people to pause and reflect critically on digital content to protect themselves from psychological distress and digital deception.
Explore an extensive archive of over 2,500 Dhamma talks from Ven. Thanissaro Bhikkhu of the Metta Forest Monastery. Rooted in the Thai Forest Tradition, these insightful 15-minute sessions have been recorded nightly since 2000 and are updated at the start of every month.
Dhamma talks are held following each Puja session every Sunday. Speakers are invited each week to share the Dhamma with members and friends of BUBS. We are blessed to have many Sangha members, locally and overseas offering Dhamma teachings as well as lay Dhamma speakers.
