A Buddhist monk walking on a forest path.
Ven. Panadure Chandaratana Thero is a young, senior monk from Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery. The Thero has proficiency in both Sinhala and English. He spent many years at Nā Uyana meditation center before coming to Mitirigala Nissaranavanaya Monastery. The Thero has more than 10 years of Vassa. The Dhamma listeners first got an introduction about Ven. Chandaratana at Allenmathiniyaramaya and later at Sri Gnanarama, Thalawathugoda.
We are very pleased to provide below the links to the Dhamma Programs conducted by Ven. Panadure Chandaratana Thero in English medium. These Dhamma sermons and answers are of high value and comprise invaluable Dhamma insights. The answers reflect a deep understanding of the Vipassana meditative Path. Ven. Chandaratana displays a surprising freshness coupled with simplicity, compassion and humility when answering complex questions. The answers are direct and penetrating and yet the Yogi feels quite at ease when listening to them.

How do I access Ven Panadure Chandarathana thero’s trekmentor?
It doesnt seem to come up.
I am sorry. I don’t know. You can access all of the Ven. Thero’s Dhamma sermons in the official website of Nissaranavanaya Forest Monastery, https://www.nissarana.lk/
I desperately and urgently need guidance on reducing/abolishing Raga Anusaya in my mind/winyanaya. I have stopped all bad raga actions but the thoughts keep coming to mind. Can someone help me please?
Raga is completely eradicated at a very high level stage of Enlightenment. You have used the term ‘Raga Anusaya’. I think what you mean is Raga because if you are already at the level of abolishing Raga, then your Cittanupassana and Dhammanupassana has to be highly developed and you don’t have to ask this question here. From the way you have asked the question it appears that you are not at that level. So what you mean is some guidance on how to reduce Raga. Firstly you need to explain about your level of meditative practice. Please explain your level of meditative practice and whether you are practicing walking and sitting meditation regularly. Is it Samatha or Vipassana? What is your meditation and who was you teacher etc. This information is needed to guide you.
I know that it’s been a while, but you can check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUrH-N2O2Fw&list=PLC_kWwrGKiJ03iNoDC69ai7EGc81ZgTvX&index=54
