Phra Pawithal Vajiravijjo (Shaljarernwana) is a Thai Buddhist monk who has a background of scientific and socio-cultural study.
He has a medical degree in Thailand, masters degree (maîtrise) in educational science (DEA.) and occupational science, and a doctoral degree in medical science from France. His spiritual background began when he was ordained as Buddhist monk almost nine years ago.
In 2015 he developed a new international retreat center called 'Pa Pae Meditation Retreat' in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The aim of this project is to create a place for people from around the world to learn about meditation and Buddhist wisdom. Phra Pawithai believes it's important to introduce meditation with terms and principles that all people from any part of the world understand easily. His objective is to inspire people to apply meditation every day, as part of their natural routine. He considers his teaching as a chance to share Eastern wisdom to the Western world.
