VISIT BY LUANG PU TOHN PHRA RATCHAYAN WISUTTHISOPHON

(65 Vassa)

28 March - 1 April 2013

Luang Pu Tohn will be in Malaysia from 28 March to 1 April 2013.

There will be a robe offering ceremony, blessing sessions and Dhamma talk during his stay here.

Luang Pu Tohn is one of the most senior and widely respected monks in the Thai Forest Monk Tradition. He is now 84 years old and the

Abbot of Wat Sri Apaiyawan in Loei province in the north-eastern part of Thailand. In 2007, Luang Pu Tohn was conferred the

honorific Royal Ecclesiastical title of Phra Ratchayan Wisutthisophon

by his Majesty the King of Thailand.

This is the first and probably the only time that Luang Pu Tohn will visit Malaysia. Therefore, it is a very special and auspicious occasion for the Buddhists in Malaysia to pay their respects to him and experience his teachings.

“Nothing else is better than composing yourself with mindfulness, no matter what gesture your are in; may it be standing, walking, sitting or even lying down.”
