From 1981 to 1994, foundational education was received within the Pirivena monastic environment of the Southern province — rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, astrology, and Adhimanasa Vidya, the ancient science of mind.
This monastic immersion established the intellectual and spiritual foundations for everything that followed: a deep reverence for the Yakkha lineage, Buddhist philosophy, and the conviction that wisdom must be lived, not merely studied.
