About Ajahn Kalyano (junior)

Born in Hitchin in 1961, Ajahn Kalyano has been a practicing Buddhist since he was seventeen. He began visiting Amaravati in the 1980s. As a layman his path of practice and inquiry led him to work in hospitals for nearly twenty years specializing in neurological rehabilitation and learning disabilities as a clinical psychologist, physiotherapist, and tai chi teacher.

He has a particular interest in exploring the relationship between body and mind. He took a sabbatical from his PhD in psychology at Southampton University to be an anagārika at Chithurst monastery and stayed to take full ordination as a bhikkhu in 1998 and has since traveled to Italy, Thailand, and Australia.

Ajahn Kalyano was the abbot of Lokuttara Vihara (Skiptvet Buddhist Monastery) in Norway until 2023.
