Thailand in 1977 with Ajahn Chah
Here we have a wonderful open University film giving some really rare footage of Ajahn Chah, and some very interesting insights into the Thai Forest Tradition, including some interviews with a London monk, and some wonderful teachings. I personally really enjoy the simplicity and forthrightness of Ajahn Chah, he is a very down to earth, open and friendly teacher. He is an exponent of the Thai Forest tradition and has founded many monasteries including Cittaviveka in Chithurst England, where I have spent some beautiful times.

Phra Farang: An English Monk in Thailand
At forty-five, successful businessman Peter Robinson gave up his comfortable life in London to ordain as a Buddhist monk in Bangkok. But the new path he had chosen was not always as easy or as straightforward as he hoped it would be.
In this truly extraordinary memoir, Peter describes his ten-year metamorphosis into a practising Buddhist monk, while being initiated into the intricacies of an unfamiliar culture.
Peter tells his story with compassion, humour and unflinching honesty. It's the story of a 'Phra Farang' - a foreign monk - living and practising his faith in an exotic and intriguing land. Phra Farang: An English Monk in Thailand. Phra Farang: An English Monk in Thailand
