Bhante Jayasara has been a meditator for 20 years and a Buddhist for 17. He took his full ordination with Bhante Gunaratana of Bhavana Society in 2016. Bhante J shares Dhamma and leads retreats across America and online via various platforms such as YouTube, discord, and Insight Timer. He is currently a nomad monastic, not living in any one place, but is looking to setup roots in Colorado and eventually build his own forest monastery there in years to come. Bhante specializes in showing how the ancient teachings of the Buddha are practical, pragmatic, and able to be put into practice by people in the modern world, just as he did as a professional person in the world before becoming a monastic to more deeply pursue the path.
