Christopher Titmuss, a former hippy turned Theravada Buddhist monk turned social critic, is Britain's senior Dharma teacher. For five decades, he has lived primarily on donations, teaching Dharma worldwide for free, true to the spirit of dana, a practice of cultivating generosity. A teacher of Awakening and Insight Meditation in the Buddhist tradition, he does not use the label 'Buddhist' for himself but expresses the deep benefits of his long-standing connection with the Buddhist tradition. He is known as a steadfast exponent of applying the Dharma to contemporary issues. He speaks, writes, and campaigns on social, political, and global issues. Since 1982, he has lived in Totnes, Devon, England, regularly engaging in local activities. Vegan and environmentally conscious, Christopher only takes flights out of the EU to teach. Despite his spiritual depth, he is known for his accessible approach to Dharma teachings.
