Grahame White has been involved in Buddhist meditation practice for 35 years. He began his study in England in 1969 before being ordained as a Buddhist monk for one year in BodhGaya, India in 1971. He took a primary role in the establishment of Vipassana meditation in the tradition of Mahasi Sayadaw in Australia and co-founded the Blue Mountains Insight Meditation Center outside Sydney.

Now, Grahame leads introductory and day long courses in Sydney and regularly teaches longer intensive retreats in the US. Many of these retreats have been in Hawaii under the auspices of Vipassana Hawaii where Grahame has been leading and co teaching retreats with Sayadw U Lakkhana, Steven Smith and Michele McDonald, as well as helping to guide the Hawaii sangha.

With Dr. Thynn Thynn, a Burmese Dhamma teacher, he has also pioneered a workshop format that enhances the transfer of mindfulness from the formal sitting practice into daily life. Grahame returns to Myanmar (Burma) each year in order to deepen his practice and study of the Buddha's teachings and at times assist in the teaching of Vipassana retreats for foreigners. Grahame teaches a classical tradition of insight meditation with an accessible style.
