Autor

I was born in Prague, Czechia, in 1987. I studied economics at Kenyon College (BA, Ohio), the London School of Economics, and the University of Amsterdam (MSc). Among my few jobs, I spent the longest time at McKinsey & Company. I became interested in Buddhism when I was 16 and started meditating at 18. In 2018, I went to Malaysia to become a Theravada monk. I was able to get into the jhanas (profoundly serene and blissful states of meditative concentration) relatively quickly. Later, in 2022, I managed to break through into the cessation of perception and feeling - the highest meditative attainment possible according to the early Buddhist scriptures. After that, I maintained and developed the cessation practice for over two years. Besides Malaysia, I have practiced meditation in Buddhist monasteries in Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. At the end of 2024, I decided to abandon formal monasticism, return to Europe, and dedicate myself to helping others on the path to jhana. Website: www.jhana.training
