Dr. Angela Wong has dedicated most of her life to the study and practice of Buddhism. Her interest in Buddhism began in her childhood in Myanmar, where she was first exposed to Buddhist teachings. In her adulthood, she continued and refined her studies under the guidance of Venerable Monk U Thukha. Dr. Wong has completed extensive meditation retreats in Myanmar and developed a keen interest in historical Buddhist texts in the original Pali language, including "The Teachings of King Milinda."
Driven by a desire to share the benefits of Buddhism, meditation, and mindfulness, she created prenirvana.com as a resource for those seeking peace and well-being through the study of Buddhism or the practice of meditation and mindfulness.
In her book, "The Great Mindfulness Sutra," Dr. Wong aims to make complex Buddhist concepts more accessible. She draws upon her lifelong learning to annotate the texts and uses visuals to illustrate the Buddha's teachings. Her work is geared towards both beginners and advanced practitioners, with the goal of fostering a deeper understanding of mindfulness and Buddhism.
"As a complete novice to Buddhism, I found 'The Great Mindfulness Sutra' to be an incredibly welcoming and insightful introduction. Dr. Wong's writing style is clear and compassionate, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The visuals are a fantastic aid, and I particularly appreciated the annotations, which added a personal touch to the teachings. This book has ignited a spark of curiosity within me, and I'm eager to explore the path of mindfulness further."
