Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

In the late 1980s and early 90s, until his health deteriorated too much, Buddhadāsa gave regular lectures during the international retreats held at Suan Mokkh and then Suan Mokkh International. As these were given at the end of his life, they often focus on core concerns of Buddha-Dhamma. He spoke in Thai and Santikaro Bhikkhu interpreted into English live.

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

Buddhadasa (1906–1993) was the most innovative and influential Thai teacher of the twentieth century, throughout which he observed, critiqued, and responded to the changes of modernity. A devoted student of the Pali suttas, he was deeply interested in the science of awakening and dedicated his life to reacquainting humanity with the path that centers nibbana—the end of suffering—in each day of our lives. His practice center in Thailand, the Garden of the Power of Liberation, provides a natural setting for practice and is full of skillful means for introducing fellow travelers to the “Heart of Buddhism.”
