Ajahn Martin Piyadhammo
Ajahn Martin Piyadhammo has lived as a Buddhist forest monk in jungles of Thailand for thirty years in the Thai forest tradition founded by Luangphu Mun (1870-1949). He stayed at Wat Pa Baan Taad for many years under the guidance of Luangta Mahā Bua (1913–2011) who was widely considered to be the successor of Lungphu Mun. Ordained in Thailand as a Buddhist monk in December 1995, he has lived there ever since, going on tudong (journeying alone in solitude through the forests) for a few months each year and meditating about 14 hours every day.
