Peace and Kindness

0/5 ( ratings)

The chapters of Peace and Kindness are taken from public talks and meditaiton teachings given in England by four Buddhist monks. These talks were chosen because each is concerned, in its own way, with the qualities of heart that promote peace and kindness,both within ourselves and for those around us.
Venerable Ajahn Sumedho, Ajahn Santacitto, Ajahn Anando and Ajahn Sucitto are monks in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, which is associated with the countries of South-East Asia. Although born in England or the United States, they all made their way to Thailand and eventually became bhikkhus. Initially, they lived and trained in the forest monasteris of that country.
Interest in Britain in the Buddha's teachings has subsequently led to the creation here of several monasteries of the Thai forest tradition. These include Chithurst Buddhist Monastery in West Sussex and Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in Hertfordshire, where these talks and teachings were given. In 1990, as this book was being prepared, Venerable Ajahn Sumedho was the abbot of Amaravati, and Ajahn Sucitto was a senior monk there. Ajahn Anando was the abbot at Chithurst, and Ajahn Santacitto was the abbot of the Devon Vihara, a branch monastery.
Grateful acknowledgemnet is given to Celia Dines and Chris Milton, who transcribed and typed out the taped talks, and to Angie Tinkler, who then did much of the editiing of those transcripts.
