At age 15, Ven. Metteyya began building Metta Schools along with dedicated friends, calling it \u2018A Seed of Compassion.\u2019 The 2 schools provide education to nearly 900 students and encourage many young volunteers to spread the gift of education to the children of Lumbini. Ven. Metteyya, now 25, also co-founded\u00a0Peace Grove\u00a0Institute (Nunnery and Girls College) and is a strong advocate for women\u2019s education, equality and excellence in Nepal. He is the co-founder of Karuna Women\u2019s Institute and Girls College and Anatta Children\u2019s Library (both of which are nearing construction completion) as well as Bodhi Institute and Peace Education Centre (which construction is soon to begin) in the World Heritage Site of Buddha\u2019s birthplace, Lumbini.<\/p>\n<p>Venerable Metteyya is a wonderful Buddhist teacher and is much loved by his students both in Nepal and in the west. His enthusiasm to practice and demonstrate compassion in action has been a true source of inspiration for all who have met him. Though his formal training is in Theravada Buddhist tradition and Vipassana, Venerable Metteyya has acquired precious teachings from various masters of Tibetan Buddhism and studied with the Vietnamese Pure Land tradition. The aforementioned and a B. A. degree majoring in Buddhism have afforded Ven. Metteyya a thorough comparative, theoretical and practical understanding of the various Buddhist traditions. He says that knowledge of many traditions of Buddhism has helped him to pinpoint the core and most essential Buddhist teachings. He was also one of the featured scholars in the 2010 PBS film \u2018The Buddha\u2019 by David Grubin.\u00a0 See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/thebuddha\/featured-scholars-and-poets\/\">http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/thebuddha\/featured-scholars-and-poets\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meditating With The Venerable Metteyya Featuring The Venerable Metteyya Buddhist Teacher, Spiritual Guide December 17, 2012 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Venerable Metteyya Sakyaputta\u00a0is the Spiritual Guide of Canadian Engaged Buddhism Association and was born in the same place as the Buddha: Lumbini, Nepal.
