Buddhist Cosmology, UFOs, Orbs, Devas & E.T.s with Ajahn Punnadhammo - Part 1 of 4

Part 1 of 4. Ajahn Punnadhammo is the abbot of the Arrow River Forest Hermitage, which is a Theravadin Buddhist monastery and meditation center in Northern Ontario, fifty miles southwest of Thunder Bay.

Ajahn Punnadhammo has been studying and practicing Theravada Buddhism since 1979 and was ordained in Thailand in the forest tradition of Ajahn Chah in 1991. Between 1990 and 1995 he was based at Wat Pah Nanachat, Thailand. Punnadhammo is a Canadian, born Michael Dominskyj in Toronto in 1955.

He is a senior monk and he has written the definitive book on Theravada Buddhist cosmology, The Buddhist Cosmos. See: https://arrowriver.ca/book/cosmoBook.php
Ajahn has made a video on UFOs and Aliens at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBA6fYq-0hc

For this Meetup Ajahn Punnadhammo talked about the Buddhist devas (angels) and how they compare to accounts in the UFO community of light beings and orbs. He also discussed Buddhist views on UFOs and E.T.s. There are few western Buddhist monks who know the cosmology as well as Ajahn Punnadhammo and who are also willing to talk with a UFO group.

The Q & A covered many intelligent questions that I would never have thought of, as host. I really want to thank everyone who came. It was a great group feeling with 28 people on the Zoom.
