My expereinces with Ven Waharaka Thero

What I experienced with venerable thero in my life is simply beyond words.  His uniqueness in every aspect make me to respect him each time more & more… Here are some glimpse of what I experience with this noble Bhikku.

Ven. Waharaka Abayarathanalankara Bhikku has special abilities which are really helpful to understand the pure dhamma. One unique ability of preaching is the noble thero can answer to the exact point and exact thought. Sometimes actually most of the time whenever I met the thero words weren’t necessary for me to ask the question from him. He just answer to my thoughts.

When someone asked any question from dhamma or something else he has a special skill to answer the entire question without a less. Without leaving any other questions behind venerable answer to the questions completely. You might of experience sometimes when we listen to the dhamma some question arise in between. In this case Waharaka thero make sure to answer all those question without keeping any doubts.

Perfect in explaining…

His explanations are one of the few perfect explanations on dhamma I found so far without a doubt. I personally experience this specialty in noble thero whenever I meet him. Actually I also experienced that the noble thero is answering to the person’s quality too. For some he doesn’t answer properly and sometimes when asked what was the reason he is explaining that how the mind of that person on that time had a higher level of ego and not in a mood to listening even though questions were asked.

And for some venerable explains with the deepest dhamma fact without a less. When sometimes I felt confuse with some practices without even asking a solution the noble thero have given the best solution & perfect answers.

He is one kind of Bhikku where one can leave with a satisfied answer which was perfectly explained without a less. Unfortunately those who are not listening to him properly misunderstand his preaching and misconstrued in public.

As best is rare, opportunities to discuss with him also rare. There are 2 poya days are dedicated to outsiders to enter the temple and solve their dhamma questions. And the rest of the days venerable spends for his own spiritual developments.

Something uncommon…

Also the Waharaka Thero has a special ability to explore wonderful hidden dhamma meanings from words. And he has a special skill to explain the cause & effect theory through these meaning & how these words come to use of people & also with the unseen realms of the existence.

Even though he is not yet claimed to be enlightened one his most of the abilities are somewhat similar to great “Arihat Achariya Mun” whom I share details under foreign sangha section in the site.

His ability of giving different kind of meanings to the words are sometimes give you strange feelings as they are not so familiar in common vocabulary.   Sometimes they sound really funny.

But I must say that some meanings and sounds are perfectly helping to sense the depth of some teachings. It’s kind of compressed the meaning of thousands of words in a one simple word. But to get the point perfect listening is a must. Otherwise anyone can ended up with conflicts… disappointments… any many other defile thoughts.

Unique kind of a poet…

And also he has amazing skill of reciting poems which purely comes from state of mindfulness & all about dhamma & deeper dhamma. It’s amazing to watch how he recites those poems flawlessly without resting even for a minute continuously for hours. There is no chance of remember the poems and recite on certain period.

It’s all coming from his mind continuously filled by dhamma and he does that for hours without any tiredness at all. And the other specialty of those poems are that they are vary to one another and never comes the same set of poems again when he asked to recite them again. It’s amazing to watch and listen how he does this special way of conversing dhamma with others.

I am blessed…

I am truly blessed to meet Ven. Waharaka Abhayarathanalankara Thero and get some unbelievable support from his advance explanations on dhamma.  Also there were loads of times that whenever I needed noble thero’s guidance I always guided without even asked or meet. It’s difficult to explain certain points of blessings & support which I experience in my life as some of them are quite sound like miracles.

So, rather than explaining them one by one let’s say “I am blessed and this noble Bhikku make me believe that I am blessed”. So, for me personally his explanations are 99% helpful enough to cease all kind of sufferings.

Unfortunately it is so limited chance we have to share these dhamma explanations in English. But I don’t let you to miss the opportunity easily for sure… So, I’ll include them in my writings as well as I will translate the deep dhamma sessions to English whenever I get time.
