Ajahn Dtun is considered to be one of the greatest living meditation masters in Thailand. 


Renowned for his gentle demeanour and deep wisdom, Ajahn Dtun has always had an impeccable reputation as a well-practised monk in the Ajahn Chah Tradition. Even as a junior monk, there was a buzz among the monks regarding Ajahn Dtun due to his dedication to practise and an aura of calm and clarity around him.

Born in 1955 in Ayutthaya, Thailand, Ajahn Dtun was raised in Bangkok. After completing his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, he decided to become a monk at Wat Nong Pah Pong with Ajahn Chah as his preceptor.

Presently, Ajahn Dtun is the Abbot of Wat Boonyawad in Chonburi, Thailand. Wat Boonyawad has grown from being a hermitage of a few monks to a large monastery with close to fifty monks training under the guidance of Ajahn Dtun.

:: The Autobiography and Dhamma Teachings of Ajahn Dtun ::

If we have mindfulness and wisdom, and the intention to wipe out or abandon the defilements from the heart, then we will see that any defilement that has arisen in the heart is merely a cause for more suffering.

And so we will look for a way to find the source of this suffering.

We already know that aversion is suffering, so we must cultivate kindness and forgiveness towards one another, not allowing aversion to arise in the mind.
