About the Association.

The Buddhist Society of Denmark is a non-profit association founded on 29 July 2026.

The purpose of the society is to make the Buddha’s teachings accessible to everyone, regardless of background; to offer guidance in meditation; and to practise the Noble Eightfold Path towards peace, joy, and wisdom in an inclusive community.

The association has a particularly close connection with Ajahn Nitho and Ajahn Canda, who are the spiritual teachers of the society and disciples of Ajahn Brahm.

DDBF was founded by Jesper and Julie, a father and daughter from Funen, in southern Denmark.

The Background of the Association.

The roots of the association lie in Early Buddhism — going all the way back to how the Buddha himself lived and practised. In addition, our lineage is rooted in Ajahn Brahm, a beloved and respected meditation master known for his warmth, humour, and inclusive nature.

In his younger years, Ajahn Brahm trained under Ajahn Chah in Thailand, who became his great teacher. It was through Ajahn Chah that Buddhism particularly flourished in the West from the 1970s and onwards, continuing to this day.

A contemporary teacher with whom both Ajahn Brahm and Ajahn Nitho are also connected is Ajahn Ganha, who is likewise recognised for his deep insight, warmth, and simple way of teaching.
