BIOGRAPHY
Ven. Adhsmnuviditā Bhikkhuni started learning about the Dhamma and meditation at Wat Pah Muttodaya in Germany. She became a maechee/anagārika after meeting her teacher, Ayya Phalanani, in 2017 in Northern Thailand. She went forth into the homeless life with Ayya Phalanani in 2019 in Germany, and received Upasampada (higher ordination) from the Most Venerable Ayya Tathaloka Mahatheri in California, USA, in 2021. Venerable currently resides in Thailand and spends most of her time in monasteries of the Thai Forest Tradition. The lifestyle of a forest monastic resonates with her, as it represents the “original way of life” recommended by the Buddha for one who has gone forth.

6 Counter-Intuitive Lessons from Ancient Wisdom on Surviving Modern Social Media "Brain Rot"

On 11 Oct 2026, Bro. Ananda Fong examines the dangers of blindly trusting information encountered on social media, connecting modern digital susceptibility to historical manipulation and the spread of unverified misinformation. He argues that excessive online consumption leads to brain rot, characterized by anxiety, fragmented attention, and diminished intellectual wellbeing. Drawing heavily upon Buddhist teachings, the speaker contrasts passive faith with active scrutiny and verification, emphasizing that individuals should personally test ideas rather than accept them at face value. Furthermore, it highlights that the Dhamma-Vinaya serves as a practical path for self-transformation, promoting mindfulness, moral conduct, and rational investigation over dogma. Ultimately, the discourse encourages people to pause and reflect critically on digital content to protect themselves from psychological distress and digital deception.

5 Counter-Intuitive Lessons on Happiness from Modern Data and Ancient Wisdom

On 4 Oct 2026, Dato Ang presented that global research and traditional Buddhist teachings intersect to reveal that material wealth, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual faith serve as the primary pillars of human well-being. While external factors like advancing age and gender remain beyond personal control, individuals can cultivate genuine contentment by earning honestly, practising mindful communication, and letting go of rigid personal opinions. Ultimately, the core purpose of this discourse is to demonstrate that achieving a truly joyful life relies not on endless material accumulation, but rather on unconditional generosity, inner wisdom, and harmonious connections with others.

The “Rich Buddhist” Manifesto: 5 Surprising Lessons for Modern Life

On 27 Sept 2026, Datuk Charlie explores the concept of Practical Buddhist Living, specifically tailored for laypeople who navigate worldly desires, careers, and family responsibilities rather than seeking total renunciation. The speaker argues that the Buddha’s teachings are not just for monks but offer a symbiotic relationship where successful, wealthy disciples support the religious community while receiving spiritual guidance on managing life’s vicissitudes of gain and loss. By understanding core principles like impermanence (Anicca) and non-attachment, individuals can cultivate a peaceful and contented mind that remains resilient amidst the inevitable changes of health, wealth, and status. He emphasises self-reliance through the Noble Eightfold Path, encouraging practitioners to integrate ethics and mindfulness into their modern vocations to achieve a balance of health, wealth, and emotional wellness. Ultimately, the purpose of the discourse is to redefine Buddhism as an experiential and accessible philosophy centred on doing good, avoiding evil, and purifying the mind in the present moment.
