Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu (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.”
