His Story
NT's life journey started in a rural village in Sri Lanka. He has navigated through personal and professional challenges in Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and the United States and attributes his success to inner peace. He is a retired certified public and chartered accountant (CPA and ACA), IT audit (CISA), and information security professional (CISSP). He gave up his earlier career to fulfill the aspiration of sharing his experience of true happiness.
Since his teens, he has been a beacon on the ocean of inner peace and shared his firsthand experience of true happiness in small group settings and remote teachings and discussions. This sharing spread across many societies, such as group sittings with ordained monks in Bodhinyanarama Buddhist Monastery in Stokes Valley, New Zealand, to spiritual seeker groups in Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, London, UK, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Mesa, Arizona, in the United States.
He self-published "Are You a Philosopher or a Sage" in 2009 and "Explore Within" in 2019. He is also the author of Beyond Our Self-Image: The Story of a Fictional Character, sharing his true happiness experience with a broader audience. He founded ancientpath.org and Sages nth Foundation.
His new book, "Beyond Our Self-Image," was released in May 2024. You can order it from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
