The centre now serves a community of over 21,000 followers and has produced thousands of hours of Buddhist teachings.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, the centre invited Most Venerable \u00d1\u0101\u1e47adassana Mah\u0101thera to teach in Greece. Michael studied under Bhante \u00d1\u0101\u1e47adassana for six years, gaining an understanding of the P\u0101li canonical texts and the traditional Therav\u0101da approach to textual study. This training led to the creation of PaliVerse, with Bhante \u00d1\u0101\u1e47adassana&#8217;s contributions foundational to the project&#8217;s methodology.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Additional Role<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honorary Consul of Sri Lanka in Greece since 2020.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li><strong>University of Colombo, Sri Lanka<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 PhD Candidate, Department of Buddhist Studies.\u00a0Research focus: AI and access to the P\u0101li Canon<\/li><li><strong>Anatolia American University &amp; World Federation of Consuls (FICAC)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Executive Diploma in Consular Practice and Diplomacy<\/li><li><strong>MIT Sloan School of Management<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Certificate in Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy<\/li><li><strong>United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Executive Diploma on International Diplomatic Law for Honorary Consuls<\/li><li><strong>University of Exeter, Camborne School of Mines<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Master&#8217;s Degree in Mining Geology<\/li><li><strong>National &amp; Kapodistrian University of Athens<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Bachelor&#8217;s Degree in Geology\/Earth Science<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Xynos Founder &amp; Director, PaliVerse Project Professional Background Michael Xynos has over 30 years of experience in the language services industry.
