He is one of Ajahn Lee Dhammadaro’s most devoted students, spending 24 rains retreats in the company of his renowned teacher. After Ajahn Lee’s death, Ajahn Fuang continued on at Wat Asokaram, Ajahn Lee’s bustling monastery near Bangkok. A true forest monk at heart, Ajahn Fuang left Wat Asokaram in 1965 in search of greater solitude more conducive to meditation, and ultimately ended up at Wat Dhammasathit in Rayong province, where he lived as abbot until his death.
