A president is someone who takes an interest in what is happening at our Centre while not being involved in a day by day way they are able to bring experience and perspective to the situation.
Nagabodhi is much loved by us all in Auckland and has been the president of Auckland Buddhist Centre for 30 years. He is based in the UK and in his time, he has visited us for 2 weeks every two years, taking a friendly interest in our centre and providing guidance and perspective to many different chairs and the ABC Council. Many deep friendships have been formed during this time.
Jnanadhara is originally from Whangarei and first encountered Buddhism through books while in his mid-teens. After completing a diploma in music, he got involved with Triratna in Wellington in 1996. His desire to deepen his involvement led him to the UK. From there he moved to Dublin, Ireland where he now lives. He was ordained in 2003.
