Phra Dan (Bhante Dhammarakkhita, Bhikkhu) is a Theravada Buddhist Monk who lived in India from 2020 and Thailand from 2023. 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 son's. 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. Vanlife 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.

Thank you so much for such talks. The point of keeping things simple but not too much simple is very interesting.

Phra Dan Greetings !😎 Dont Forget Dependant Co Arising chant
I have to learn it first. It's a new chant to me too, but I will...
Thanks for the video ❤
You're welcome it's my pleasure
Thank you Phra Dan 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're welcome. There's more to come on this subject. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for this talk, it is so interesting to hear how you live.
How does this compare to your life, living up the mountain in rural India? Your life then (at least in the videos) appeared far more random and varied.
If this was indeed the case, how did you find the transition to such a routine existence?
Sadhu slSadhu Sadhu.
The jury's still out on this one...
Very good question thank you Dan which I will talk about in a video very soon.

Hello Bhante, How are you? Glad to see you are doing live sessions again. Hope one day you will visit Sri Lanka!
I'm very well thank you and happy to hear from you again. One day I will visit Sri Lanka.
Raining in the UK too ))

I deeply enjoy and always all ears to listen to your videos
May i know how many hours do you meditate on a daily basis?
Thank you for watching and your kind words. You may, usually 6 to 9 hours in 2 or 3 hour sessions
Thanks for clearing my nicotine problem up. I have been living by the 5 precepts for about 5 years. I was worried I had been cheating, because I still smoke. I'm over the moon thanks.
I have to say I do struggle with the sleeping. I have read a couple of books on Buddhism. Where would I learn more about the Dharma?
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

Be happy and stay well.
I'm sure that you would still benefit from giving up smoking. The book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr has helped many people to give up.
Thank you for this talk and details. May I ask where are you? Where is the monastery located and if it has a name? 🙏
In this video I am at Wat Ban Phe in Thailand
I’m curious, do you not consider coffee an intoxicant? I’m curious if you just don’t consider it one or if you made it an acception
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

Okay ..3 am wake up , two free hours. Not ONE word mentioned about daily devotional practice , no taking refuge Buddha dharma SANGA ? No triple gem ? No bow to Buddha , no offering of practice to free ALL sentient beings ? No discussion of Jhana in this meditation ? Very very rambling , disjointed narrative of routine ..with constant detours . Arriving exactly where ? More of an entirely cerebral intellectual recap of
a day than a dharma talk
There is live chanting on this channel daily at 6am Sri Lanka time.
