Ajarn Santikaro

On Thursday, November 30 at 19:30 at the Yoga Tree, the Green Papaya Sangha welcomes Ajarn Santikaro for a dharma talk:

Suffering:  Escape, Embrace, or Fix?

Ajarn Santikaro first came to Thailand as a Peace Corps Volunteer where he became interested in Buddhism.  After completing four years of service he traveled down to Wat Suan Mokh where he ordained as a monk with the Venerable Buddhadasa, one of the most famous and influential Thai monks of the 20th century.  Ajarn Santikaro was Buddhadasa’s primary translator.  He also translated and edited Mindfulness with Breathing and Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree. 

Presently Ajarn Santikaro and his wife Jo Marie are stewards of Liberation Park, a Buddhist Dhamma refuge in Wisconsin in the United States.
