The Life and Teachings of Luang Por Liem Ṭhitadhammo/ประวัติ และปฏิปทา พระเทพวชิรญาณ (เลี่ ยม ฐิตธมฺโม)

(From the Foreword)

“To honour the auspicious occasion of the 80th birthday of Luang Por
Liem Ṭhitadhammo (Phra Thepvajiranyan), a faithful group of disciples
has arranged to print his biography. Luang Por Liem is a senior Buddhist
monk presently ordained for 60 years in the Thai Forest Tradition of the late
Ven. Ajahn Chah (or “Luang Pu Chah”) of Wat Nong Pah Pong in Ubon
Ratchathani, Thailand. This book covers the prominent chapters of Luang Por
Liem’s life, beginning from his roots as a simple farmer in Northeast Thailand, to
his quest for deeper knowledge and understanding of the Buddha’s teachings as a
monk, his life in accordance with the monastic discipline, his meditation practice,
the search for the guidance of a teacher, and finally his joining Wat Nong Pah
Pong as a disciple of Luang Pu Chah. Presently Luang Por Liem serves as the
abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong himself, and teaches Dhamma all over the world.
He has become a living example for countless people.
The content of this book is based on Luang Por Liem’s own accounts
and the memories of his disciples — monks and laypeople — who have had the
opportunity to meet him in all kinds of situations and circumstances in various
places and countries.”
