Ajahn Sudhīro Arriving Wed 13/11

Ajahn Sudhīro finally got his visa approved, and is set to arrive at Dhammagiri on Wed 13 November after the meal.

After 5 months of processing, and him missing out on joining us for vassa, our visa executive Lakmini contacted Immi and requested expedited processing. Next day they approved, and even gave us 13 months instead of one year.

Ajahn Naen Sudhīro hails from Ubon province, the very heart of the Thai Forest Tradition, and birthplace of Ajahn Mun and Ajahn Chah. Ordained by Ajahn Mahā Amon, he has completed 20 vassa as a bhikkhu, and has experience living in the West from a previous 2 year stay at Bodhinyanarama Monastery, Wellington, NZ.

In the picture above you see him in the shrine room of the monastery he is currently based in, Wat Doi Mongkolsathan near Chaing Mai, the same monastery Ajahn Khantiko usually lives in when staying in Thailand.

We look forward to welcoming him!
