Questions

Follow this link to the Ajahn Pasanno Question and Story Archive.

This project is an attempt to make the oral teachings of Ajahn Pasanno more accessible. It was created by a grateful student with help from others to honor Ajahn Pasanno’s 50th Rains Retreat as a bhikkhu.

New in the November 2024 Release:

  • The number of featured excerpts has more than doubled.
  • All subtopics feature at least one excerpt, substantially improving the key topics page.
  • Improved tag hierarchy interface.

Suggest Featured Excerpts

The October 2024 release introduces hand-picked featured excerpts which appear at the top of the corresponding tag pages. Featured excerpts can be clear answers to the most common or significant questions, pivotal or illustrative stories in the life of a teacher or community, or insightful reflections about important aspects of Dhamma. If you find an excerpt that explains a topic very well that isn’t already marked with a star, please suggest it. For more information, see Want To Help?.

Invitation to Submit Stories

There are hundreds of Ajahn Pasanno Dhamma talks on abhayagiri.org, many of which contain inspiring, touching, or memorable stories. It would be great to include these stories in the Question and Story Archive, but the archive creators don’t plan listen to all these talks.

So if you listen to a good story on abhayagiri.org or Abhayagiri’s YouTube channel, please send it to us so we can share it with others.

To submit a story, please send the following to QuestionsAndStories@abhayagiri.org:

  1. The title and date of the Dhamma talk.
  2. A link to the talk on abhayagiri.org or the Abhayagiri YouTube Channel.
  3. The time the story begins in the recording.
  4. A suggested title for the story.

If the story isn’t duplicated elsewhere in the archive and seems to include, we’ll aim to add it to a future release.

Please send feedback and suggestions to QuestionsAndStories@abhayagiri.org. If you are having technical difficulties with the website, please include details about your device, operating system, and web browser in your email.
