Forest Sangha Newsletter

The Forest Sangha Newsletter © is produced by the Buddhist monastic community, or Sangha, founded by Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Sumedho in Europe. It provides a medium for the Sangha to stay in touch with supporters, friends, and anyone interested.

The FSN is published quarterly and distributed without charge, through the post and on this website. It relies on donations to cover costs. Comment within is personal reflection only and does not reflect the opinion of the Sangha as a whole. For permission to reprint any material published on this website or in the hard copy edition, please contact the editor at the address below.

More information about the Thai forest tradition, Ajahn Chah and the worldwide family of monasteries founded by his disciples can be found at the community web portal: www.forestsangha.org .

Conventions

The terminology of Theravada Buddhism and the Thai forest tradition includes many foreign words. Please see the glossary for help.
