Farang Monk On Tv

[phutoie2]

Who is the farang monk on channel 7,he's on now channel 7 and has been for the last few weeks, just after 6:AM.

Speaks in fluent Thai and always with a big smiling manner. He must be funny as there are chuckles from whoever he is talking to. My wife says he is from Khorat,

This guy looks like he has a sense of humor. Is this him ? I didn't see the TV show.

Ajahn Jayasaro (Shaun Chiverton) was born on the Isle of Wight,England in 1958. He joined Ajahn Sumedho’s community for the Rains Retreat as an anagarika in 1978. In November of that year he left for Wat Pa Pong in Northeast Thailand where he ordained as a novice in the following year, and as a bhikkhu in 1980 with Venerable Ajahn Chah as his preceptor. From 1997 until 2002 Ajahn Jayasaro was the Abbot of Wat Pa Nanachat. He is now living alone in a hermitage at the foot of Kow Yai mountains,Nakornrajasrima,Thailand.

Ajahn Jayasaro can speak fluently Thai,Lao and English.

I met this man when we visited Nanachat some years ago. He sat and talked with my wife and I for some time, telling us about his early life in England, and asking me about how I had dealt with the change of lifestyle from Essex to Ubon!

An extremely interesting man, intelligent, friendly, and with a nice touch of humour.
