The Theravada Buddhist Community is pleased to announce that on Sunday, May 22 at 11:00am Ajahn Ñāṇiko, abbot of Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery, California, will be joining us during our weekly meditation session to offer a dhamma talk followed by a short question and answer period.
Ajahn Ñāṇiko
Ajahn Ñāṇiko was born and raised in California. In 2001, at the age of 20, he visited Abhayagiri and decided to request anagarika ordination. in 2002, he took novice ordination, and in July 2003, he was ordained as a bhikkhu. He received his basic training from Luang Por Pasanno and Luang Por Amaro at Abhayagiri, and has also spent over six years training in Thailand. When Ajahn Pasanno stepped back from his leadership role in 2018, Ajahn Ñāṇiko was the co-abbot of Abhayagiri along with Ajahn Karunadhammo. In 2020, Ajahn Karunadhammo stepped back from his administrative duties, so Ajahn Ñāṇiko is now serving as the abbot of Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery. .
