Money is not everything. If you think money is everything what would you say about this man. He is the only son of Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan (second richest man in Malaysia & Southeast Asia and 89th in the world). He refused opportunity to work with his father to expand his father’s empire (personal fortune more than USD 8 billion) and instead chose the life of a simple Buddhist monk 18 years ago. Until now he follow the path of the Thai forest meditation tradition.

(Ajahn Siripanno gives an enthralling Dhamma talk on the timeless teachings of Ajahn Chah. The talk was given at the Ajahn Chah Remembrance Day on 16 January 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ~by sampajanna)

I was forwarded this video of Ajahn Siripanno by Sharon (Thank you Sharon) and watched. I liked it very much. I like very much how Ajahn Siripanno explained the teachings, effects on others to commit, personality and methods of conveying dharma of his teacher the great Ajahn Chah.

I’ve never seen or met Ajahn Siripanno, but through this video I am so very glad he took ordination, studied, teaches and practices Dharma. May it continue strongly. You can see Ajahn Siripanno was destined to follow this path due to the ripening of positive merits.

Through his explanation of his encounter with his teacher although brief and afterwards the effects, he weaves the dharma into the talk. Very skilfull, very beautiful and filled with truth. His teacher through great practice is able to bless and inspire so many others into committing towards dharma. I rejoice.

I highly recommend everyone to watch these videos and contemplate. I personally wish Ajahn Siripanno a long life of practice and elucidating the Dharma. I pray Ajahn Siripanno will teach the dharma and reach many during his lifetime bringing their minds to rest in the forest of Nirvana. May Ajahn Siripanno’s dharma works flourish due to great compassion for others.
