Phra Ajaan Fuang Jotiko

Phra Ajaan Fuang Jotiko was a Thai Buddhist monk and abbot in the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravada Buddhism. Ajaan Fuang was a student of Ajaan Lee at Wat Asokaram, a monastery near Bangkok. After Ajaan Lee's death in 1961, Ajaan Fuang continued at Wat Asokaram where he was expected to become abbot. However, in 1965 Ajaan Fuang left to pursue greater solitude which he felt would improve his meditation practice. Around 1971, Ajaan Fuang moved to Wat Thamma Sathit in Rayong Province, where he lived as abbot until his death in 1986. Ajaan Fuang's students included American monk Thanissaro Bhikkhu, who studied with him for ten years.
