He served in the U.S. Army 1967-1970 and has been in the Vietnam War as well. \u003cbr\u003e                While travelling as a hippie to India, he came in contact with Buddhism, visited meditation retreats and has been ordained as a Buddhist Theravada monk in 1979. He got also in 1975 a Yoga teacher certificate and started Buddhist teaching combined with Yoga. For 23 years, he was the vice abbot of the Bhavana Society Forest Monastery and Meditation Centre in West Virginia, USA  and since 2017, he is the director and principal meditation teacher at the new Lion of Wisdom Meditation Center, located between Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC.  \u003cbr\u003e                I met him first twenty years ago and know him as a teacher whose Western background might well be the fundamental   factor in the significant influence on his students   that his teaching exerts.   But I also travelled with him whenever he visits  Germany and also in the United States and in Sri Lanka. \u003cbr\u003e                This book described his travel on earth and in the Dhamma on the Noble Eightfold Path and as well my travel with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783943863871\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMy Experiences with an American Buddhist Monk\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783943863871","offer_id":12222321688669,"sku":"9783943863871","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/ae176445-4115-4331-8222-77615fabdf66.jpg?v=1776496970","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/immersion-in-the-dhamma-my-experiences-with-an-american-buddhist-monk-von-gino-leineweber","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
