Bhikkhu Anālayo
Born in Germany in 1962 and ordained (for the second time) in Sri Lanka in 1995, Bhikkhu Anālayo arrived too late to study with his inspiration—Bhante Nyanaponika Thera—but stuck around anyway to study under a different Western monk: a certain “Bhikkhu Bodhi.”
In 2000, still studying in Sri Lanka, Bhikkhu Anālayo received a PhD in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. He became interested in the Northern parallels to the Pāli Canon and quickly picked up Sanskrit, ancient Chinese, and Tibetan, publishing Perspectives on Satipaṭṭhāna in 2013.
Today, Bhikkhu Anālayo is the preeminent comparative textual scholar of early Buddhism. His prolific articles can be found in most major journals of Buddhist Studies, and he is the author of several books on early Buddhism, some of which are available for free. He was a professor at the Numata Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Hamburg and co-founded the Āgama Research Group. He currently teaches and continues his research at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies in Barre, Massachusetts.
