Anagarika Sabbamitta first encountered Buddhism in her twenties with Tibetan teachers and later became interested in Early Buddhism after discovering the suttas. After extensive stays in monasteries of the forest tradition, she took Anagarika precepts in 2017. Currently she is working on German translations of the texts of the Pali Canon, and is a main contributor to SuttaCentral Voice, a text-to-speech app for reading suttas.
