Should we continue on the path with “Perceptional Self identity” or “Self Infliction”? What about the practices of Ehipassiko (Investigation, Come and See) and Vidharshanā (Insight)?
About the Speaker: Venerable Londonaye Dhammagawesi is a Theravada monk, ordained at the Springhill Forest Monastery on the hilltops of Kandy, Sri Lanka. He ordained in the year 2007 and higher ordained in 2008 in the “Kalyana Yogasrma” sect, under the auspiciousness of the late Most Ven Nāuyane Ariyadhamma Mahā Thero.
He was born in the United Kingdom and was educated in Sri Lanka. After his successful education at Trinity College, Kandy, he migrated to the UK and lived there for 28 yrs. With all his conventional experiences in telecommunications & consulting, he abandoned “himself” and joined the monastic community, to accomplish his own liberation while sharing some of his experiences with the wider world.
As a monk, he has had a lot of experience with his own practice of Vinaya & meditation, under his teachers and also as a teacher to an international following. He also has spent about 6 years in India and also in the Himalayas experiencing his path.
Within the Australian community he has been involved with many groups and families, assisting them with their “personal circumstances” & the practice of meditation. He has not exposed himself too much in the public domain, not wanting to be too exposed and hindering his practice.
He is currently touring Australia and has with much persuasion volunteered his services to a limited number of events. Towards this we are pleased to invite Venerable Dhammagawesi to share his experiences associated with the Dhamma with a selected few groups.
