Phra Dan (Bhante Dhammarakkhita, Bhikkhu) is a Theravada Buddhist Monk who lived in India from 2020, Thailand and now Sri Lanka. Born in Sussex, England in 1967. Educated by French Catholic Monks. A successful businessman in Estate Agency and Financial Services during the 1980's and 90's. Married, now divorced with 3 adult sons. 2000 marked change and travel including South Africa returning to the UK in 2003 to continue different work and business activities until 2012. Gradually materialistic values turned to renunciation, simplicity and meditation, living nomadically in an old Ford Transit van full time for 3 years. Van life and meditation led to Buddhism and a Thai Forest Tradition, Theravada Buddhist Monastery in the UK. During 2015 travelling the Buddhist Holy Sites of India, deep faith reinforced desire for Ordination. In 2020 after 5 years of intensive meditation practice between Thai Forest Monasteries in Thailand and England he was Ordained in India where he lived for 3 years until returning to Thailand in 2023 and now Sri Lanka.

Thank you again for sharing your experience with us, Bhante! Before you ordained, when you were living a very simple and austere life in the van, were you mostly solely practicing Theravada Buddhism at that time, or did you explore and practice other religions or forms of Buddhism back then before deciding on ordaining in the Theravada tradition? I personally like to explore other religions, but I sense it's important to really fully embrace one in order to reap the fullest rewards that spiritual practice has to offer. Would you agree with this?

Thanks once again for giving dhamma talks. Even though i dont always comment i watch every episode and its impacting my life. Sometimes a bit too much, but i think thats part of the programm. Now to my question. Since i have started meditation, i really have problems to get how to actually meditate. My first interaction with buddhism was reading a book about the 4 noble truths. This brought me to the dhamma. Then i wanted to connect with a sangha. In my area there was tibetan and zen tradition. But since i was reading the pali suttas, it felt strange and just not for me. Tibetan visualisation meditation was not suitable for me. Zazen on the other Hand felt more natural but also really pointless. I guess thats just the style of zen but it was not for me. So i read the suttas and the visuddhimagga. So i am now with anapanasati, but now i am trying to actually aply it and now i am confronted with satipatthana sutta. And i have problems to translate it into actual practice. I know its very hard to explain. Could you explain how to meditate the "right" way, to achieve progress and to be in tune with the actual teachings of the Buddha. I hope you can help me find a way to the right technique. I saw some of your meditation videos, but still i have the feeling that there must be something more . And that maybe you just made it suitable for all your viewers. I apologize for my bad english, i didnt received good education. Thank you for your help !
