We are delighted to be welcoming back Ajahn Jayanto for an evening of teachings on Monday 2 December at Baan Aree, the beautiful location so generously made available to us by the Baan Aree Foundation. Ajahn is the co-abbot of Temple Forest Monastery, New England in the US, which follows in the tradition of Luang Por Chah and Luang Por Sumedho.Ajahn will give a Dhamma talk titled “What can we trust?”
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to experienced meditators. We meet to support and encourage each other in our practice.
Baan Aree is a Thai Buddhist Center, please wear something that is comfortable to sit in, and avoid tight-fitting clothes, shorts, sleeveless tops, and short skirts. There may not be sufficient drinking water on site, therefore you may bring your own water in a closed container. No other food/drinks are allowed in the main room.
As is usual with Buddhist teachings, there is no charge for this event. However, the Little Bangkok Sangha follows the Buddhist custom of Dana (generosity). The teachings and the venue are offered as an act of generosity, and those receiving them can, if they wish, reciprocate by making donations. These go towards the teacher’s and venue’s costs. Boxes for Dana will be provided.

In 1991 he was ordained at Cittaviveka Monastery and continued his training there and at Aruna Ratanagiri Monastery. In 1997, he embarked on a period of practice in Thailand and other Buddhist countries in Asia. He returned to the UK in 2006, where he lived at Amaravati until moving to Temple in 2014.
