AJAHN VAJIRO | Why Do Only so Few Attain Nibbana? | Dhammagiri

During his visit at Dhammagiri, Ajahn Vajiro responds to a question from the audience:

What's the reason that apparently only so few practitioners actually succeed to attain Nibbana?


Ven. Ajahn Vajiro was born in Malaysia in 1953 and has been a Buddhist monk for over 40 years.

In 1979, he met Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Sumedho when they made a visit to Hampstead Vihara in Oakenholt, England. He received higher ordination from Ajahn Chah personally in Thailand in 1980 at Wat Nong Pah Pong.

After helping with the opening of Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in the UK, he participated in the running of both Harnham Buddhist Monastery and Chithurst Forest Monastery. In 1993 he moved to New Zealand to lead the Bodhinyanarama community in Wellington for five years. Following this he entered a three-year retreat in Australia before returning to Amaravati in 2001.

In 2012 he moved to Portugal, where he had been closely involved in the establishment of ⁠Sumedharama Buddhist Monastery⁠ near Lisbon, which is where he is now based. Our Podcast is also available on our own Dhammagiri Website, no need for any special app, just listen in any browser:
