Venerable Thitadhammo (Shih Fa Shan) was raised in a Christian environment in Singapore. As a youth, he already exhibited a strong affinity to religion, leading him to devote himself to religion. However, his continual search for the Truth and the meaning of life and the end to suffering led him to Buddhism. To attain a better understanding of Buddhism, he started by enrolling for a short term meditation retreat in Thailand. His fervent pursuit of Buddhism saw him taking his monastic vows and his ordination as a monk later.
