AJAAN DUNE ATULO ON THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
As one of the most senior members of the Forest tradition founded by Ajaan Mun, Ajaan Dune was widely known as Luang Pu, a term of great respect and affection, meaning “Venerable Grandfather.”
A senior monk of the meditation tradition came to pay his respects to Luang Pu on the first day of the Rains Retreat in 1956. After giving him instruction and a number of teachings on profound matters, Luang Pu summarized the four noble truths as follows:
“The mind sent outside…is the origination of suffering.
The result of the mind sent outside…is suffering.
The mind seeing the mind…is the path.
The result of the mind seeing the mind…is the cessation of suffering.”
