Phra Videsabuddhigu?a (Venerable Ajahn Amaro)

This small book is an expression of the good wishes of many sincere and devoted people. It is a gesture of their faith in the Triple Gem and, in particular, in the life and teaching of Venerable Ajahn Chah and the community of his students.

On December the 5th, 2015, Luang Por Pasanno, of Abhayagiri Monastery in California, and Ajahn Amaro, of Amaravati Monastery in England, were given the honorary titles of Jao Khun by H.M. the King of Thailand, in a ceremony at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Luang Por Pasanno received the new name Bodhi???avides, resonating Luang Por Chah?s honorific name of Bodhi???athera, whilst Ajahn Amaro received the name Videsabuddhigu?a. This book you are holding has been produced as a result of their having been offered these titles and in celebration of the wholesome qualities that such public recognition is designed to encourage.
