Upayavira

Upayavira first visited a Triratna Buddhist Centre in 1990 and was ordained in 2000. In the early days he struggled with meditation, having to find a way that worked for him. Letting go and feeling into the body were the gateways that worked. Since becoming a parent in the early 2000s, he has developed and taught an approach to meditation for parents – how to meditate when your young kids are around you. He has presented this at the Buddhafield Festival most years since 2005. For the last four years, he has been developing a secular approach to inner inquiry work, to help people unravel their habits and unhelpful patterns, and has been working full-time on this project since autumn 2024.
