About the Teacher: Ven. Upekkha was born in Sri Lanka in 1974, and grew up in various parts of the world before her family settled down in Perth, Australia. If that wasn’t enough travelling, at 23 she quit her job in the financial industry in Singapore to go seeking in India for ‘the Truth’. Her journey took her through marriage and long retreats in Malaysia and Myanmar with her Irish husband (who later also ordained as a monk) before finally at the age of 35, she returned to Perth where her spiritual journey started. She joined Dhammasara Monastery, a Theravada monastery for Buddhist nuns under the auspices of Ajahn Brahm in 2009 and has been part of that community since then. Ven Upekkha ordained in 2011 and took bhikkhuni ordination in 2014.
