Readings from the Island by Ajahn Amaro
During Amaravati’s Monastery 2017 Winter Retreat, Ajahn Amaro read passages from The Island. After reading from The Island, Ajahn Amaro also provided added details, explanations, and stories as well as answers to questions.

Study Guide for The Island
This study guide was created by Christine Johnson. Christine led a group based in Tucson, Arizona through a course on The Island, using the study guide. The format for this course was that prior to meetings, participants were expected to read the appropriate chapter and then listen to Ajahn Amaro’s commentary (https://amaravati.org/series/the-island/). Thereafter, participants completed the study guide addressing points both from The Island and Ajahn Amaro’s audio commentary and then met together via Zoom.
