| Ajahn Jumnien Silsetso is the abbot and founder of this
amazing temple in the south of Thailand named, Tiger Cave
Temple (Wat Thumsua).
Ajahn Jumnien was born in a very small "Ban" or village,
in southern Thailand called "Banasan". Banasan is part of
the Suratthani province which also includes the beautiful
islands of Koh Tao, Koh Phangnan and Koh Samui.
In the mid- 1970's Ajahn Jumnien started this small
temple that has grown in size and status in Thailand as a
result of Ajahn Jumneun's wonderful presence and dedication
to spreading the good word of Buddhism to Thais' and
foreigners alike.
Every year Aj. Jumien travels abroad to America to teach
special meditation classes to students of Jack Kornfield, a
famous western Buddhist author in the United States
(California). There are many photos of Ajahn Jumnien
visiting California and Chicago, Illinois for teaching
meditation courses.
Here is a chapter about Ajahn Jumnien in a book written
by Jack Kornfield and offered for preview at Google Books.
