Ariya B. Baumann left her career as a music and dance teacher in favour of her deep yearning to understand herself and the world.
Based on her many years of practice, twenty-one of them as a nun in the Burmese tradition, she now lays a strong emphasis on the practice of loving-kindness (including mettā chants) as a basis for the vipassanā meditation practice.
She has translated a number of Dhamma books from Burmese to English and German, among these are Mahasi Sayadaw’s ‘Manual of Insight’.
She is a co-founder and president of ‘Metta In Action’ which supports a variety of social projects throughout Burma, especially nunneries and monastic schools.
