The Writing Is On The Wall

Ajahn Kalyano shares a story about an old friend who passed away in May 2020.

In memory of Ted Prebble

Born in Hitchin in 1961, Ajahn Kalyano has been a practicing Buddhist since he was 17.  He began visiting Amaravati in the 1980’s.  As a layman his path of practice and enquiry led him to work in hospitals for nearly twenty years specialising in neurological rehabilitation and learning disabilities as a Clinical Psychologist, Physiotherapist and Tai chi teacher. 

He has a particular interest in exploring the relationship between body and mind.  He took a sabbatical from his Ph.D in psychology at Southampton University to be an anagarika at Chithurst monastery and stayed to take full ordination as a Bhikkhu in 1998 and has since travelled to Italy, Thailand and Australia.

Ajahn Kalyano is currently the abbot of Lokuttara Vihara (Skiptvet Buddhist Monastery) in Norway.
