Bhante Dhammavuddho

Speaker’s Profile

Bhante Dhammavuddho Thero is a Malaysian of Chinese descent. He worked as an electrical engineer with the Public Works Department for twelve years before going forth into the homeless life. His interest in religion led him to study the world’s major religions for a few years before meeting the Buddha’s teachings in 1976.

In 1983, he went forth into the homeless life in the Mahayana tradition. He was re-ordained in the Theravada tradition in Thailand three years later. After that he spent about ten years living the solitary lifestyle in quiet places. He has written numerous booklets and articles on Buddhism, eg “Return to the Original Buddha Teachings”, “Message of the Buddha”, “Buddhist Monk’s Precepts”, etc.

In 1998, through donations from his supporters, he founded a 15-acre forest monastery, Vihara Buddha Gotama (website: www.vbgnet.org), just outside the town of Temoh, near Kampar, in the state of Perak. The monastery is mainly for the study of the Suttas (discourses) and Vinaya (monastic discipline), and the practice of meditation, according to the original teachings of the Buddha. It is open to monks and nuns (maechees or anagarinis), and also laymen and laywomen.
