Ṭhānuttamo Anāgārika

This channel shares various content about Pāḷi or Theravāda Buddhism. The topics that are covered include: morality or ethics, meditation, wisdom or insight, self-development and how to live the good life on the basis of the Tipiṭaka (the early Buddhist scriptures), incl. the Buddha's monastic discipline (vinaya), the discourses (sutta) and the Abhidhamma. I will also conduct classes on the ancient Middle Indo-Aryan Pāḷi language, in which the scriptures of Theravāda Buddhism have been transmitted.

About myself: Born in 1987 in Germany, I have been practicing Buddhism since 2007 and ordained 2016 in Thailand as a bhikkhu, into the Dhammayuttika Order. I have written on a number of topics, incl. Pāḷi grammar, Pāḷi and Buddhist studies as a whole, and Buddhist monastic discipline (vinaya). Currently, I am researching Buddhist and Western ethics, incl. the prerequisites for meditation and what constitutes the good life in general.
