Ajahn Pannavaddho ~ The One Who Knows ~Thai Forest Tradition

This is a reading of the chapter "Citta" taken from the text
'Uncommon Wisdom - Life and Teachings of Ajaan Pannavaddho.
Written and compiled by Ajaan Dick Sīlaratano. Venerable Ajaan
Pannavahho was the senior-most Western monk following Ajaan Mun’s
path of practice for over 40 years. Ajaan Paññā, as he was
called, was a man of intellectual brilliance who, through his own
efforts in meditation, was able to establish a strong spiritual
foundation in his heart. While showing a selfless devotion to the
task of presenting Ajaan Mun’s Dhamma to his many disciples, his
calm and purposeful presence touched the lives of so many people.
He became a pioneer of the Western Sangha whose leadership
influenced countless monks and laypeople to practice Ajaan Mun’s
teachings; and whose translations and interpretations of Ajaan
Mahā Boowa’s Dhamma talks introduced generations of Buddhists to
the Thai Forest Tradition. Ajaan Paññā was born Peter John Morgan
of Welsh parents on the 19th of October 1925. His birth took
place in Mysore state in South India at the Kolar Gold Fields,
where his father was working as a mining engineer. At the age of
seven he was sent to the United Kingdom by his parents to begin
his formal education. __________________________________________
