Biography
Venerable Tiradhammo (Ian Adams) was born in New
Westminster, British Columbia, in 1949. Whilst reading engineering,
geology and geography at the University of British Columbia, he
interrupted his studies to undertake a long overland trip in the Middle
East, culminating in a cycle ride from Pakistan to Sri Lanka. He stayed
for a fortnight at the Island Hermitage in Sri Lanka, and spent a
further month practising meditation at Kanduboda Meditation Centre with
Bhikkhu Sivoli.
He returned to Canada and, after completing one more
year of university, decided to travel to Thailand for further meditation
practice. After a further 5 months travel he arrived in March 1973 at
Wat U-Mong forest monastery in Chiang Mai, where he entered an extended
period of intensive meditation. Four months later he became a novice and
took upasampada one year later at Wat Meung Man in Chiang Mai with
Venerable Tong.
In 1975 he moved, in order to be with Ajahn Chah,
staying at Wat Pah Pong and Wat Pah Nanachat. He went on several tudong
journeys through the northeast of Thailand and the mountains of Chiang
Mai, visiting many famous forest meditation masters.
Venerable Tiradhammo was invited to England in 1982 to
help with developments there. He spent two years at Chithurst Monastery,
and three years in charge of Harnham Vihara in Northumberland. In 1988
he helped establish Dhammapala Monastery near Bern, Switzerland and also
later at its new location in the Bernese Alpine village of Kandersteg
where he was the senior monk until 2005. In July 2005 he assumed the
position of senior monk at Bodhinyanarama, Wellington, NZ.
