He studied B.A and M.A programme in Colombo, Sri Lanka and has successfully completed B.A and M.A from the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka. While he was studying in the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka, in September 2007, there was a Saffron Revolution in Burma. The military regime cracked down the peaceful protestors who mostly are Buddhist monks. As he could not reconcile himself with the current military regime's brutal crackdown to the Buddhist monks, peaceful protestors and human rights abuses, he became involved in the Burmese politics as an exile.
