Ven. Dr. Candana (pronounced “Chandana”) is a Bhikkhu and a student of the Dhamma for over thirty years, while teaching the Dhamma for over two decades. Bhante Candana has a Doctorate in Buddhist Ministry, as well as degrees in Psychology, Marriage and Family Counseling, and Comparative Religions.

Here, viewers are introduced to the Dhamma via the earliest (Theravada) Teachings of the Buddha (from the Pāli Canon), presented in a straightforward manner that address daily challenges, with helpful tools provided to gain wisdom from the Dhamma, in a relatable fashion. 
In addition to Dhamma talks, you will also find recordings of the Pāli Canon's major books, such as the Dhammapada, Udāna & Itivuttaka, the Dīgha Nikāya (long discourses), the Majjhima Nikāya (middle length discourses), Anguttara Nikāya (numerical discourses), Samyutta Nikāya (connected discourses), an ongoing life project of retranslating and weaving back many of the Suttas (discourses) without leaving out any of the repetitions. 
Bhante Candana can be reached at bhantecandana@gmail.com
