The author

isi Dhamma adopts and attempts to convey – in the light of his own experience – the teachings of the Buddha, which are free from all belief and superstition. They allow those willing to make the effort to reap the greatest fruits, to understand the mind in depth, and to destroy problems at their root.

Having lived in many Theravada monasteries, isi Dhamma is nevertheless not affiliated with any tradition. He also remains very open to anything that resonates with the understanding of things: philosophies, sciences, psychology, anthropology, NDE, etc.

Having studied the Buddha's teachings, he places as much importance on deep meditation as on the practice of mindfulness. Living as an ascetic, he is no longer a bhikkhu (monk of the community established by the Buddha), because in his view, the sangha (the community of monks) has become too corrupt, led by a large majority of closed-minded and arrogant individuals who do not respect even a tenth of what the Buddha taught.

The purpose of the blog

On this blog, the author presents the values of the Buddha's teaching in a lively and original way, based on his own experience. Sometimes blunt and radical, his writings are above all aimed at serious practitioners seeking concrete results, or at those who are discovering this path and sincerely wish to free themselves from their attachments.

This blog is therefore not designed for the general public, who would rather seek embellished teachings whose only purpose is to provide comfortable and poetic nourishment for the mind.

This modern ascetic, born in the early 1970s, places particular importance on:

• discipline (right and reasonable, not self-totalitarianism)
• humility (not false modesty, which is only a subtle form of pride)
• sincerity (which implies deep honesty).
