BIO
Ajahn Mudito's first contact with Theravada Buddhism came through the Dharma House . After finishing college, he considered ordaining as a monk, but wanted to find an environment where the monastic rules, as created by the Buddha himself, were truly observed. After hearing an interview with Ajahn Sumedho , he felt that this search was over, and upon contacting the monk, he was suggested to visit the Thai monastery Wat Pah Nanachat. Thus, in 2002, at the age of 25, he began his path to monastic life.
In 2004, he received ordination as a Bhikkhu at Wat Nong Pah Pong monastery (the head monastery of Ajahn Chah ), with Luang Po Liem as his upajjhaya (a preceptor monk who has the authority to confer full monastic ordination. After a few years of residing at that monastery, he decided to move to Wat Pah Cittabhavana in Pathum Thani province to practice under the guidance of Luang Po Piak , who remains his teacher to this day. He is currently the abbot of Sudhavāri Monastery in São Lourenço, Brazil.
