Viryabodhi

Viryabodhi is a Buddhist meditation teacher and writer from Sweden. He describes his work as "Buddhism för idag & i morgon", Buddhism for today and tomorrow, and shares it in Swedish and English.

His work covers Buddhist meditation, including metta-bhavana, guided meditations and mantras. He also makes translations, writes articles and prepares ceremonial texts such as the simple puja, the sevenfold puja and the refuges and precepts. His translations take in Pali canon texts, Mahayana texts and teachings from Tibetan teachers. He has translated an article for the Swedish Buddhist magazine Buddhism-nu.

Solo retreat is a practice he values and writes about. In his view it is a way to greater self-knowledge, and he describes how it shows a person their habits and lets the heart open. He has spent solo retreats in a cabin in the Stockholm archipelago, and he has taken part in Nordic Order retreats in Finland. He has also helped build up a retreat centre for his sangha.
