Luang Pu Waen Suciṇṇo

Who was Luang Pu Waen Suciṇṇo?

Luang Pho Waen Sujinno is one of the longest living students of Phra Ajahn Mun Bhuridatta and was a very popular monk in Thailand. Luang Pho Waen Sujinno was also featured in the Asia Magazine. Another true ascetic at heart, he led the thudong life until the point where he could not physically travel any more and had to settle in a forest monastery in the Chiang Mai region.

Luang Pho Waen Sujinno was a revered monk, highly skilled in Samadhi and Dhamma. The most remarkable characteristic of Luang Pho Waen was his dislike of crowded places. He loved to live alone in the forests away from people and urbanized areas just like his teacher, Ajahn Mun Bhuridatta. Some people said that Luang Pho Waen had achieved Arahant level. Tahn Joo Koon Noh had in fact mentioned that "There is a Phra Arahant, but he lives far away, in the forest".
