About Ajahn Kalyano (junior)

Born in Hitchin in 1961, Ajahn Kalyano has been a practising Buddhist since he was 17.  He began visiting Amaravati in the 1980’s.  As a layman his path of practice and enquiry led him to work in hospitals for nearly twenty years specialising 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 Ph.D in psychology at Southampton University to be an anagarika at Chithurst monastery and stayed to take full ordination as a Bhikkhu in 1998 and has since travelled to Italy, Thailand and Australia.

Ajahn Kalyano is currently the abbot of Lokuttara Vihara (Skiptvet Buddhist Monastery) in Norway.

You yourselves must strive, the Buddhas only point the way
