A Life Member of BSWA, Binh first joined BSWA in 1979. That year, Binh had attended a talk by a visiting Western Buddhist monk called Phra Khantipalo where he felt very much “at home” with the teachings on Buddhadhamma, as it was simple but practical and straight to the heart. He then decided to join the Buddhist Society and has been practising Buddhism in the Theravada tradition ever since. He also served as the President from 1998 to 1999. He retired from work in 2011 and continues to volunteer with the Society. He has been conducting the Introduction to Meditation classes twice yearly since 2012. Binh also maintains a bilingual English – Vietnamese Buddhist webpage, called BuddhaSasana which collates discourses, dhamma essays and other resources by different Dhamma teachers.
Please note – our Friday Night Speakers during Rains (11 July – 7 Oct 2025) are NOT live streamed, so please come along in person to enjoy the talk!
Significance of the Rains Retreat for Theravada Buddhism: During the Rains Retreat, we have guest speakers on Friday nights as our monastics stay at their monasteries and hermitages rather than coming to Dhammaloka to teach.
