Meet Sri Annatta – Our Founder & Teacher
Sri Annatta is a meditation master with over 40 years of experience in Buddhist practice and teaching. Originally from Europe (the name “Annatta” signifies the Buddhist concept of non-self), he has traveled and studied across Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand, and beyond. Despite his deep knowledge, Sri Annatta’s approach is very down-to-earth – he makes spiritual wisdom accessible to all levels and believes in personal insight over dogma
