Ven Ananda Maitreya Thero

Ven Ananda Maithreya Thero’s first overseas Dhamma journey was to Kerala, India in 1926. Thero also traveled to many countries in the world for the propagation of Buddhism.

The humbleness of Maha Nayaka Thero’s character is clearly shown, when he publicly stated that he had no liking whatsoever for titles and awards, but that he was rather accepting it to satisfy the presenter.
