About Us

How We Started

The Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastic Order was founded by Most Venerable Kiribathgoda Gnānānanda Thero, born in Sri Lanka in 1961. Following a conventional monastic education in Sri Lanka, during his Sinhala Honours Degree studies at Sri Jayawardhanapura University, he encountered the Buddha's teachings in the Pāli Canon unexpectedly. This experience led him to leave temple life behind and devote himself to the Dhamma, immersing himself in forest monasteries and hermitages with a strong determination to practice.
