Ajahn Sucitto was the abbot of Cittaviveka – Chithurst Buddhist Monastery in Sussex England from 1992 until 2014. He was born in London and went forth as a bhikkhu in Thailand in March 1976. Ajahn Sucitto returned to Britain in 1978 and took up training under Luang Por Sumedho at the Hampstead Buddhist Vihara. In 1979 he was one of the small group of monks, led by Luang Por Sumedho, who established Cittaviveka – Chithurst Buddhist Monastery. In 1981 he was sent to Northumberland to set up a small monastery in Harnham, which subsequently became Aruna Ratanagiri Monastery. In 1984 he accompanied Luang Por Sumedho in establishing Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in Hertfordshire. In 1992 he was appointed abbot of Cittaviveka. Ajahn Sucitto’s main work has been in teaching, editing and writing and he was also largely responsible for the creation of the protocols and standards that flesh out the Ten Precept training of the Sīladharā (nuns) Order. On October 26, 2014, he resigned the post, but continues to teach worldwide. Files from his June retreat at IMS Forest Refuge Mass. are here: https://dharmaseed.org/retreats/6430

Ajahn Jayanto is an American-born monk and has trained for over 25 years in Buddhist monasteries in the UK, Thailand, and other Asian countries. He will provide meditation instructions, conduct Question and Answer sessions and speak on the benefits of Buddhist practices and principles for our complex, modern lives. Ajahn Jayanto has helped to lead the efforts to establish a branch monastery in New England, and he now serves as an abbot of Temple Forest Monastery. This will be his first open retreat in Thailand and will be a good opportunity for us all to deepen our practice.
