Lee Dhammadharo, Phra Ajaan (1907-1961)
Ajaan Lee was one of the foremost teachers in the Thai
forest ascetic tradition of meditation founded at the turn of the century by
his teacher, Phra Ajaan Mun Bhuridatta. His life was short but eventful. Known
for his skill as a teacher and his mastery of supranatural powers, he was the
first to bring the ascetic tradition out of the forests of the Mekhong basin
and into the mainstream of Thai society in central Thailand.
