Venerable Dr. M. Seevali

Venerable Dr. M. Seevali

Introduction

Venerable Dr. M. Seevali is a distinguished scholar-monk whose life work embodies the perfect synthesis of traditional Buddhist monasticism and modern academic excellence. A Canadian of Sri Lankan heritage, Bhante Seevali is a globally recognized figure in the propagation of the Dhamma through both classical education and digital media. As the founder of Buddha Dharma TV, he has dedicated his life to making the Buddha’s timeless wisdom accessible to a worldwide audience through modern technology.

Academic Excellence and Scholarship

Bhante Seevali’s academic journey is one of immense rigour. He spent many years in France, where he earned his M.A., D.E.A., and Ph.D. from the University of Paris (Sorbonne). This high-level training in the heart of Europe allowed him to develop a unique perspective on presenting Eastern philosophy to Western minds.

His scholarly contributions include:

  • Classical Languages: Mastery of Pali and Sanskrit, the foundational languages of the Buddhist scriptures.

  • Prolific Authorship: He has written extensively on Theravada doctrine, Buddhist ethics, and the history of Buddhist thought.

  • Lecturer and Professor: He served with distinction as a Professor of Classical Languages and Theravada Buddhism at the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Varanasi, India—one of the few institutions where the Pali and Sanskrit traditions meet.

A Pioneer in Digital Dhamma

Recognizing the shifting landscape of information in the 21st century, Bhante Seevali established Buddha Dharma TV. As Executive Director, he oversees a platform that broadcasts Dhamma talks, meditation guides, and educational content globally. His mission is to ensure that the light of the Dhamma can reach homes in every corner of the world, breaking down geographical and linguistic barriers.
