Gunopeta

Gunopeta

Gunopeta encountered the FWBO (now the Triratna Buddhist Community) in the UK in the mid-1970s and was ordained at Aryaloka in 1997.  His Pali name can be translated as "Having good (or meritorious) qualities."  A poet and conservationist, he is especially interested in how Buddhism can inform the creative life and how it speaks to the environmental crises of our times.  Gunopeta lives in rural Lubec, Maine, where for more than 25 years he has led meditation and study groups in person and on-line.
