2021. 05. 23 | Anathapindika and Lady Visakha were declared the foremost lay supporters of the Buddhasasana. They were stream enterers and firm in their practice of the 5 precepts and 8 precepts on lunar observance days.
For the laity, one practices following their example - practicing dana, sila, and bhavana to see clearly for oneself the Buddha in one’s own heart.

* Not long before he lost his speech and slipped into his final illness, Ajahn Chah gave this teaching. He compassionately uses his own failing body as the starting point for this deep reflection on the nature of life and death, and how we can find a true refuge for our own hearts.

Ajahn Anan Dhamma
Aug 11, 2021
In this videoconference talk, Ajahn Anan talks about the seven weeks following the Buddha’s enlightenment, and the Buddha’s great compassion to endure many obstacles to teach. “So this is encompassed in the period that the Buddha travelled to Varanasi City with metta and compassion. We could imagine that if we had the highest happiness already, alone were already happy, what we would do. But the Buddha had to go through difficulties and hardships in walking, in teaching, in receiving arguments from other sects, all for the benefit and happiness of the multitudes of people. For the devas and all human beings. So this the Buddha’s virtue of great compassion, which is boundless and without equal. We can reflect on the sacrifice of the Buddha, where he traveled to teach the Pancavaggiya, and they evaded him by going to the Deer Park, and so the Buddha followed them. Where would there be another teacher that would have the patience, determination and sacrifice like this.”

 

Ajahn Anan Akiñcano Biography

Ajahn Anan Akiñcano was born in Saraburi, central Thailand, in 1954 and received ordination under the renowned monk, Venerable Ajahn Chah, in 1975. Residing at Ajahn Chah’s main monastery of Wat Nong Pah Pong for his first four years, Ajahn Anan had the opportunity to serve frequently as Ajahn Chah’s personal assistant, which provided him the opportunity to develop a close connection to his teacher. After this first intensive training period, the young Anan wandered the forests of Thailand for several years seeking out secluded places to meditate. In 1984, he was offered land in the Rayong province on which to start a monastery, which became known as Wat Marp Jan.

Over thirty years later, Ajahn Anan’s reputation as an accomplished meditation teacher has grown, along with the number of monks coming to live under him. While his teachings stress the fundamentals of day-to-day meditation and mindfulness practice, Ajahn Anan is also known for his ability to articulate the Buddhist path in terms that practitioners of varied backgrounds can understand. His instruction has attracted a large following of foreigners, with monks from Australia, Brazil, Sri Lanka and elsewhere residing at Wat Marp Jan and its branches. Today, Ajahn Anan attends to his duties as abbot and teacher, looking after a growing number of branch monasteries in Thailand and overseas, teaching visiting laity, and instructing the monks who practice under his guidance.

What’s Wrong with Being Right | Ajahn Anan | 11 Sep 2021

Ajahn Anan Dhamma
Sep 15, 2021
Even though we may be right, if we attach to that rightness, it turns wrong. It’s normal for everyone in the world to have their own views, but if we each cling on to our own, there will be no end to the arguments and chaos. So we must learn to lay aside our opinions and listen to others, reflecting on what they have to say. And who knows? Maybe they actually are correct. But it’s only when we get to heart of the matter—the place where right and wrong cease to exist—that we can find real peace.

When we are generous and virtuous without expecting anything in return, what we gain is inner wealth, happiness and emptiness. So, we shouldn’t desire any plane of birth or state of becoming, but set our hearts on the highest happiness instead: nibbāna.

Like Anathapindika and Lady Visakha, we train in giving, virtue, and mental cultivation. We train ourselves in mindfulness and wisdom to know sense impressions as they arise such that the mind may cross over sense impressions and go beyond the world.
