Suryacitta first started meditating within the Transcendental Meditation movement in 1990 and soon realised the potential for freedom and happiness in such a simple practice.
Wishing to meet like minded friends he contacted the Friends of the Western Buddhists order in 1993 and has been involved in various projects with fellow Buddhists ever since.
He was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 1999. After spending four years in Vajraloka Meditation Centre he moved to Brighton, Sussex in the summer of 2005. In the spring of 2008 he moved to Stanton-Under-Bardon in the midlands where he continues to lead workshops and courses on happiness and meditation.
Although informed by Buddhist practice the retreats and events he leads are open to anybody whether they consider themselves Buddhist or not.
