About Ven. Ajahn Kittisobhano (Bhante Huat Poh)

Born and bred in Penang, Ven. Ajahn was first introduced to Theravada Buddhism in his early teens, and his interest and practice of the Dhamma steadfastly progressed as he grew into adulthood. Finding his true calling, he decided to give up his career as an engineer to go forth.

On 13 June 2005, he was ordained in the Dhammayut Thai forest tradition in the Province of Chiangrai, Thailand.  He spent the past 14 years in the deep forest of Omkoi in Northern Thailand, supported by a nearby tribal village for his basic living needs.

In 2020, a sense of filial duty called him back to Malaysia to care for his ailing father. Since his return, Ven. Ajahn has been sharing the Dhamma to promote better understanding and inspiring many to understand and walk the Path that leads to liberation.

We're delighted to announce a special Seven-Day (Stay-In) Meditation Retreat with Luang Por Sucitto, focusing on "Gratitude, Forgiveness & Equanimity - A Mindful Transition into The New Year."

As the year draws to a close, this retreat presents a unique opportunity to engage in mindful reflection and joyful renewal through Buddhist teachings.

• Cultivating Gratitude and Forgiveness: Discover how the blessings of past years can soften your heart with gratefulness and forgiveness.

• Practising Equanimity: Learn to meet life's challenges with calm wisdom and balance, free from attachment and aversion, as you set wise intentions for the years ahead.

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to deepen your practice and cultivate inner peace as you approach the end of the year.
