Ajahn Nyanamoli Thero

Ajahn Nyanamoli Thero was born in Serbia in 1983. His interest in Buddhist meditation was inspired by the books of another Yugoslavian monk from the 60s, Bhikkhu Ñāṇajīvako, from Island Hermitage in Sri Lanka. After a few years of practising as a layman and following Ven. Ñāṇavīra Thera’s teachings, in 2005 Ajahn Nyanamoli Thero joined a Theravada Buddhist monastery in the Thai Forest Tradition, where in 2007 he received his full ordination as a Buddhist monk. After living in various monasteries in Europe and Thailand for a number of years, Ajahn Nyanamoli Thero moved to Sri Lanka in 2013 where he lived in a small private aranya he established for solitary practice, called Hillside Hermitage. Currently he’s residing in Europe.
