Bhante Jinaratana

Bhante Jinaratana was born in Toronto, Canada. He became interested in meditation as a student at the University of Toronto, and began attending intensive retreats in 2002. After graduating with an H.B.Sc. (neuroscience, mathematics) in 2004, he taught English for a year in Nanning, P.R.C. Desiring to ordain, but without knowing a suitable place to do so, he travelled to Brisbane Australia and completed a Graduate Diploma in Education in 2008 at the Queensland University of Technology. During that time he had the opportunity to stay for an extended period at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage as eight-precept meditator. The guidance he received there helped him to gain the confidence to finally ordain.

Bhante Jinaratana received novice ordination at Na Uyana Forest Monastery in Sri Lanka in July 2011, and higher ordination in June 2012. Most Venerable Na Uyane Ariyadhamma Mahāthera was the preceptor for both ceremonies. From 2019-2021 he stayed at Pa Auk Monastery, Pyin Oo Lwin Myanmar, meditating under the guidance of Sayadaw U Kumārabhivaṃsa and Most Venerable Pa Auk Sayadaw Āciṇṇa.

Samsāre samsarantānam, sabbadukkha-vināsane; satta dhamme ca bojihaṅge, mārasenā-pamaddane.
Bujihitvā ye cime sattā, tibhavā muttakuttamā; ajāti-majarā-byādhim, amatam nibbhayam gatā.

The seven kinds of Dhamma are the Factors of Enlightenment, which destroy all sufferings of beings who wander through this samsara (rounds of birth and death) and defeat the army of Mara, the Evil One. Having realized the seven Dhammas, these persons were liberated from the three kinds of world (sensual, material, and immaterial). They have gone to Nibbana, where there is no birth, no decay, no sickness, deathlessness and fearlessness.

此七法是覺悟的條件,能摧毁流浪與輪迴 (生死輪迴)之眾生的一切苦, 並擊敗魔軍—邪惡者。覺悟此七法, 此人界解脫與三界 (欲界、色界、無色界)。他們已達無生、無哀,無病、無死及無惧的涅槃。
