Silabodhi
Silabodhi has been practising Buddhism for more than 20 years. He’s one of our long term retreat attendees at Vajraloka, which he considers his ‘spiritual home’.
He was ordained in 2015 and amongst other things he’s been chair of the Manchester Buddhist Centre for 5 years from 2019 to 2024, the CEO of a small manufacturing business for 32 years, a Meditation and Dharma class teacher for over 10 years, also leading study groups.
His practice is very clearly based on inquiry, with a keen interest in seeing through delusion that causes suffering. He’s too interested in current affairs, but well balanced by a love of nature and walking.
