BIOGRAPHY
Ven. Adhsmnuviditā Bhikkhuni started learning about the Dhamma and meditation at Wat Pah Muttodaya in Germany. She became a maechee/anagārika after meeting her teacher, Ayya Phalanani, in 2017 in Northern Thailand. She went forth into the homeless life with Ayya Phalanani in 2019 in Germany, and received Upasampada (higher ordination) from the Most Venerable Ayya Tathaloka Mahatheri in California, USA, in 2021. Venerable currently resides in Thailand and spends most of her time in monasteries of the Thai Forest Tradition. The lifestyle of a forest monastic resonates with her, as it represents the “original way of life” recommended by the Buddha for one who has gone forth.

On 4 Oct 2026, Dato Ang presented that global research and traditional Buddhist teachings intersect to reveal that material wealth, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual faith serve as the primary pillars of human well-being. While external factors like advancing age and gender remain beyond personal control, individuals can cultivate genuine contentment by earning honestly, practising mindful communication, and letting go of rigid personal opinions. Ultimately, the core purpose of this discourse is to demonstrate that achieving a truly joyful life relies not on endless material accumulation, but rather on unconditional generosity, inner wisdom, and harmonious connections with others.
On 27 Sept 2026, Datuk Charlie explores the concept of Practical Buddhist Living, specifically tailored for laypeople who navigate worldly desires, careers, and family responsibilities rather than seeking total renunciation. The speaker argues that the Buddha’s teachings are not just for monks but offer a symbiotic relationship where successful, wealthy disciples support the religious community while receiving spiritual guidance on managing life’s vicissitudes of gain and loss. By understanding core principles like impermanence (Anicca) and non-attachment, individuals can cultivate a peaceful and contented mind that remains resilient amidst the inevitable changes of health, wealth, and status. He emphasises self-reliance through the Noble Eightfold Path, encouraging practitioners to integrate ethics and mindfulness into their modern vocations to achieve a balance of health, wealth, and emotional wellness. Ultimately, the purpose of the discourse is to redefine Buddhism as an experiential and accessible philosophy centred on doing good, avoiding evil, and purifying the mind in the present moment.
On 20 Sept 2026, Bro. Mitra Chong explores the Buddhist perspective on balancing worldly success with inner peace. While acknowledging that aspirations for wealth, career advancement, and family harmony are natural for laypeople, the talk highlights the danger of craving, which occurs when one’s happiness becomes entirely dependent on external results. True suffering arises not from having possessions or titles, but from being enslaved by them and defining one's worth through temporary status. By shifting from a mindset of constant accumulation to one of gratitude and contribution, individuals can enjoy life’s comforts without the fear of losing them. Ultimately, he encourages a balanced life where outer achievements are anchored by inner success, such as integrity, wisdom, and the ability to let go.
