Ajahn Khemakā - Wisdom Through Contemplating The Buddha’s Teachings

In July 2025 London Insight Meditation hosted Ajahn Khemakā for a retreat day on the theme of “The true nature of our existence”. In this first talk of the event she reflects on how we can gain wisdom through contemplating the Buddha’s teachings. _____________________________ AJAHN KHEMAKA Ajahn Khemakā was born in Sri Lanka to a Buddhist family. Hearing the Buddha’s teachings in primary school, the Eightfold Path resonated with her as an important set of principles in living as a human being. Ajahn Khemakā migrated to the UK in 1982, and has lived at Amaravati monastery since 2006. She took anagārikā precepts in July 2008 with Luang Por Sumedho and received pabbajjā as a Sīladharā in April 2011 with Ajahn Amaro as Preceptor. _____________________________ LONDON INSIGHT MEDITATION London Insight Meditation provides online and in person opportunities to encounter and deepen in the practices of Mindfulness, Compassion and Insight Meditation.
