- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Ajahn Jayasaro (Shaun Michael Chiverton) was born on the Isle of Wight, England in 1958. In 1978 he became a disciple of Ajahn Cha, one of Thailand’s most renowned Buddhist monks and meditation masters, at Wat Pa Pong in Northeast Thailand. He took full ordination, with Ajahn Chah as his preceptor, in 1980.
After his initial five year monastic training, Ajahn Jayasaro went on extended solitary retreat before taking on teaching and administrative duties. Over the next several years he alternated between periods of retreat and service to his monastic lineage.During this period he was entrusted by the elders of his order with writing the official biography of his teacher, Ajahn Chah. In 1997 he assumed the position of abbot of Wat Pa Nanachat, the international monastery of Ajahn Chah’s lineage, where he remained until the end of 2002.
Since early 2003 Ajahn Jayasaro has been living alone in a hermitage at the foot of Khao Yai Mountain national park. The Dhamma teachings and meditation retreats he gives at regular intervals at a nearby retreat centre offer inspiration to both lay Buddhists and monastics. He is also a key figure in the movement to integrate Buddhist developmental principles in the Thai education system. Many of his Dhamma talks are broadcast on radio and television.
Ajahn Jayasaro has written many books on Buddhist themes in the Thai language, a number of which have been translated into other languages, including Chinese, French, Italian and Portuguese. His latest English work, "without and within" is a general introduction to the Theravada Buddhist tradition.
Ajahn Jayasaro spends a month a year out of Thailand. His most recent teaching engagements have been in Qatar, China and Bhutan. In 2011 Ajahn Jayasaro was granted an honorary doctorate in Buddhist Pedagogy by Mahachulalongkorn Rajavidyalaya University.

Dhamma Talk
The evening crickets add to the beauty of this talk 🙏🏼🌹
I listen to your talks over and over and over again. Every time I do I hear something I missed or didn't understand. Then I'll listen to Ajahn Chah, then Ajahn Sumedho.... Do the same thing with them. Over and over..Then start over.Then walking meditation, then two hrs sitting.It does sink in eventually.All this I plan on bringing with me to my next lifetime.I want to be a monk next time. Thank you Ajahn. Many Blessings.
Candace LK ajahns viradhammo and amaro and sona are really good too as well as thanissaro bhikkhu!
wearewon Thank you for your comment. Have you heard" the collected teachings of Ajahn Chah"? They are read by Ajahn Amaro. They are wonderful. Go to" gradientsea"( you tube site) there are also 55 Ajahn Thanissaro Bhikku Dhamma talks there as well.Many Blessings!!__/\__
Best of luck to you
Candace LK I do the same. I listen to videos of Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Martin, Ajahn Brahmali and many others over and over again and over again, day after day after day until the teachings sink into my bone marrow.
@@lordbyron3603 especially Ajahn Martin is amazingly fierce in reminding us about death and hell same as Buddha often reminded his students. Hearing it sometimes helps to shake up the complacency. Many times thr teachers often focus mostly on the positive which is good but Buddha also reminded us what is the terrible outcomesof not practicing diligently. Buddha never tried to sugarcoat things or act like a "New Age guru" who hides rebirth in hell or sufferings in each lifetime.
Thanks for posting. Ajahn Jayassaro is a thoughtful and inspiring human being.

Every single moment of your life has meaning...
Sadhu...🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful. I'm going to tell the story of the broken teacup to my son at bedtime tonight.
How ironic is this. But may he be enlightned
I understand now what I want to be in my next life. Thank you so very much.
You should choose not to have one. Being no self. And all. 😊
I attatched to this monk
Oh my dukkah!
+Izzy Jeter talking about attachment...
Izzy Jeter it's important to get attached to the right things and detached from the otherwise!
30:24 Every day. 🙏🏼
It would be best perhaps at some point to dedicate to the life of a monk. However, if one cannot realize an enlightened awareness in everyday life, then perhaps the enlightenment would not be true. A serious ponderance for me at least.
Venerable Ajahn Jayasaro,
thank you for your teachings. Thank you for your readings of Venerable Ajahn Chah's talks. May you be happy and fulfilled.
One cannot enlighten without doing the right things. Doing these in everyday life is certainly possible, but would be different or take more time than the dedicated way. One can choose his/her own path. Really doing it is more important.
A wise statement, David!
Thank you Venerable Sir ! Sadhu
sathu sathu sathu are nu mo tha mi
