Dhammavidu Bhikkhu

Tan Dhammavidu Bhikkhu, originally from England, ordained as a novice in September 1994 and as a monk in March 1995. He lives at Suan Mokkh, Chaiya in South Thailand. He has helped to teach meditation to foreign retreatants at Suan Mokkh International Dharma Hermitage and Dipabhavan Meditation Center at Samui Island in the last decade. His inimitable teachings are remembered by many who joined one of the monthly retreats at either place. Having been interested in rendering the works of Ajahn Buddhadasa into English for many years, he started translating in 2010. Some of his completed translations have been available online (http://www.suanmokkh-idh.org/idh-readings.html). As his study of Ajahn Buddhadasa’s teaching deepens, he is beginning to translate from “The Dhamma Proclamation Series,” a multivolume collection of Ajahn Buddhadasa’s major teachings. Currently, he is working on “Little Dhamma Book,” or concise teachings of different topics in this series.
