Entering monkhoodAjahn Mun was fully ordained as a monk at age 22, on June 12, 1893, at Wat Liap monastery in the provincial city of Ubon Ratchatani.Venerable Phra Ariyakavi was his preceptor. His announcing teacher wasVenerable Phra Kru Prajak Ubolguna. Mun was given the Buddhist name"Bhuridatta" (meaning "blessed with wisdom") at his ordination.
After ordination, Mun went to practice meditation with Ajahn Sao ofWat Liap in Ubon, where he learned to practice the monastic traditionsof Laos. Ajahn Sao taught Mun a meditation method to calm the mind, themental repetition of the word, "Buddho." Ajahn Sao often took Ajahn Munwandering and camping in the dense forests along the Mekong River,where they would practice meditation together. This is known as"thudong" in Thai, a name derived from the term "dhutanga",which describes a number of specialized ascetic practices. One of thefirst long distance thudong was a pilgrimage to Wat Aranyawaksi in Thabor district, Nong Khai Province.At the time, Wat Aranyawaksi was a ruin, an abandoned, overgrown templein the jungle. Ajahn Mun spent a year in "illumination" in the teak forest around the temple at this early part of his monastic life.
In 1899, Ajahn Mun was re-ordained in the Thammayut Nikaya,a reformed Thai sect which emphasized monastic disciple and scripturestudy. Having practiced under the guidance of his teacher for severalyears, and with his teachers blessings, Ajahn Mun went out on his ownto search for advanced meditation teachers. During the next severalyears, he wandered extensively throughout Laos, Thailand and Burma,practicing meditation in secluded forests. Ajahn Mun and Ajahn Sao wenton pilgrimage together in 1905 and venerated the Phra That Phanomshrine, a center of Theravada Buddhism for centuries, most sacred to the Lao people.

[edit] Thudong aloneAjahn Mun then wandered alone, onward to the north, to Sakhon Nakhon Province on the highlands of the northeastern Plateau, inland from the Mekong River, into the Phu Phan Mountain Range. Today, a museum to Ajahn Mun is located here in the temple residence of Wat Pa Sutthavat, in the city of Nong Han Luang.
He then wandered on toward Udon Thani,into a region that was a wild forest filled with prehistoric caves. Hecontinued his wandering pilgrimage deeper into the wildernesses of Loei,a land dreaded and feared by the Thai people, who describe it as"beyond" and "to the furthest extreme" of the world. This ruggedwilderness along the Mekong consists of mountains, and extremes ofweather, both cold and hot.

[edit] To BurmaIn 1911, Ajahn Mun decided to walk to Burma in search of a highlyattained meditation teacher who could help him in his struggle forenlightenment. He walked by stages from northeast Thailand down to Bangkok, through the wilderness mountain ranges.
He made his way into Burma and visited the Shwedagon Pagodaamong other sites. During his stay in Burma, he did indeed make contactwith meditation teachers who were capable of giving him the guidance hewas seeking in order to develop the correct meditation practices thatwould lead to higher attainments. Unfortunately, the names of these meditation teachers were never recorded[citation needed]. Ajahn Mun spent the Rain Retreat of 1911 at Moulmein in lower Burma, in the Mon states. He was deeply affected by the morality and generosity, and strong monastic discipline of the Mon and Shan people he met in Burma.

[edit] Back to Central Thailand and IsanIn 1912, Ajahn Mun spent the Rains Retreat at Wat Sa Pathum (now known as Wat Pathum Wanaram) in Bangkok,where he received instructions and advice from His Eminence Phra Upaliof Wat Boromnivasin. After Rains Retreat, he journeyed up to the townof Lopburiand stayed in various caves such as Phaikwang Cave, Mount Khao PhraNgarm, and Singho Cave, where he practiced intensive meditation.
In 1913, Ajahn Mun stayed in Sarika Cave at Great Mountain (Khao Yai) in Nakhon Nayok. It was during this time, at age 43, when he attained anagami, according to the biography written by his disciple Luang Ta Maha Bua.Ajahn Mun spent the next two or three years living at this location inthe Khao Yai Mountains. He struggle with a mortal life-threateningillness during these years. A chapel shrine to Ajahn Mun is located atthis cave today and is a major pilgrimage site.
In 1915, Ajahn Mun spent the Rain Retreat at Wat Sapathum inBangkok, and frequently walked to a nearby temple to hear sermons byAjahn Jan, an important high-ranking monk.
From here, Ajahn Mun returned to the rural districts of northeastThailand. In 1918, he spent Rains Retreat in Wat Burapha, on theoutskirts of Ubon city. He remained at the same monastery for the RainRetreat of 1920. For the next five years he wandered throughout thenorthern districts of upper Isan region: Sakhon Nakhon, Udon Thani, Nong Khai and Loei.
Ajahn Mun was increasingly recognized as a highly gifted teacherduring these years, and attracted growing numbers of disciples amongboth monks and laypeople. In 1926 he was accompanied by a group of 70monks in a "thudong" south to Daeng Kokchang Village, Tha Uthen District, heading toward Ubon.
A controversy engulfed Ajahn Mun and his disciples at this time. Themonastic authorities in Bangkok were in the process of imposing reformsintended to standardize and centralize the sangha, and were pressuringthe wandering forest monks to settle down in temples and become"productive" members of society. Monastic administrators weresuspicious of these apparently "vagrant" monks who lived in wildforests and jungles, beyond the realm of civilization. Ajahn Jan, themonastic administrator of the province, ordered the people to withholdsupport from the wandering monks. Several of Ajahn Mun's disciples weretaken into custody by civil authorities under suspicion of vagrancy.
Ajahn Mun became increasingly concerned by the encroachments ofmodern ways that threatened the traditional monastic customs he hadbeen trained in. He began to think of leaving his homeland in order toseek more remote regions beyond the reach of modernizing influences ofBangkok authorities.
In 1927, Mun was in Ubonteaching monks and laypeople in Wat Suthat, Wat Liap, and Wat Burapha.He made arrangements for his aging mother, and then took leave of hisfamily to go wandering into the direction of the Central Plains regionof Thailand, not certain of his destination. He wandered by stagesacross the barren lands and sparsely populated lands of central Isan,sleeping under the occasional shade tree, receiving alms food from thepoor rice farmers along the way. When he reached the rugged, wildmountains and jungles of Dong Phaya Yen Forest between Sara Buri and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces, he rejoiced at the flora and fauna of nature.

[edit] To Northern ThailandIn 1928 he spent Rains Retreat at Wat Burpha in Ubon. After RainsRetreat this year, he left northeast Thailand and didn't return againuntil the final years of his life. He went first to Bangkok, and thentraveled north to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces, where he remained in meditation retreat for the next 12 years of his life.
He was acting abbot of Wat Chedi Luangin Chiang Mai during 1929, appointed under the direction of Bangkokauthorities. When his superior, Phra Upali died this year, Ajahn Munfled his temple without notifying either his dependent monks or themonastic authorities in Bangkok
The following years, Ajahn Mun established a meditation retreat onthe eastern slope of Chiang Dao Mountain, and frequently spent timemeditating in the sacred, remote Chiang Dao caves. Initially, hewandered through the Mae Rim district of Chiang Dao mountain range, staying in the forested mountains there through both the dry and the monsoon seasons that year.
Ajahn Mun was again in Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai in 1933. From here he went wandering into Burma throughout the Karen and Shan states.
From 1932-1938, Ajahn Mun practiced meditation in a variety oflocations throughout the forests and mountains, in solitude with littlecontact with people. These years of solitary retreat into the rugged,inaccessible wilderness are very significant in the biography of AjahnMun. According to his disciples, he is said to have attained enlightenment or "become an Arahant"during his time in retreat here among the hill tribes, in mountainsthat hold a unique position in the shamanistic traditions of Thailand.
He spent Rains Retreat of 1935 in Makkhao Field Village in Mae PongDistrict. In 1936 he spent the retreat near Puphaya Village among thehill tribes. Then the following year, he was in Mae Suai District, Chiang Rai, among the Laui tribes.

[edit] Back to IsanIn 1940, at age 70, Ajahn Mun began the return journey to hishomeland of Isan in northeast Thailand, in response to the persistenturging of his senior disciples. He first traveled down to Bangkok, thennorthward to Korat. He lingered in vast mountain jungles of Nakhon Ratchasima, staying at Wat Pa Salawan.
When he arrived in Udon Thanilate in the year of 1940, he stayed at the temple Wat Boghisamphonwhere his disciple Chao Khun Dhammachedi was presiding abbot. Fromthere he went to Wat Non Niwet for Rains Retreat.
After the rains retreat of 1940 he went wandering in the countrysidein the vicinity of Ban Nong Nam Khem village, revisiting the familiarlandscapes of his youth. Even at the age of 70, he was still able totake care of himself and get around in the wild environments.
In 1941 he spent the Rains Retreat at Wat Nan Niwet monastery in Udon Thani. After rains he traveled to Sakhon Nakhonand first resided at Wat Suddhawat Monastery. He then moved to a smallforest monastery named Pheu Pond Hermitage near the village of Ban NaMon. Pheu Pond Hermitage was in a very remote forest, far into thewilderness, three or four hours walk from the nearest village. (It istoday named Wat Pa Bhuridatta in honor of Ajahn Mun.)
Ajahn Sao Kantasilo Mahathera,Mun's first teacher as a new monk, died in 1942. Ajahn Mun moved toreside even deeper into the forest. At age 75, Ajahn Mun decided tosettle permanently at his Pheu Pond Hermitage in the deep forest, atthe head of the Phu Phan Mountains,near Sakhon Nakhon. Due to his failing strength, he was unable towander into the forests. Ajahn Mun passed away in 1948 at WatSuddhavasa in Sakhon Nakhon Province. He attracted an enormousfollowing of students and, together with his teacher Ajahn Sao, foundedthe Thai Forest Tradition (Kammatthana) currently practiced throughout Thailand and in several countries abroad.

[edit] Forest meditationAjaan Mun's mode of practice was solitary and strict. He followed the Vinaya (monastic discipline) faithfully, and also observed many of what are known as the 13 classic dhutanga(ascetic) practices, such as living off alms, wearing robes made ofcast-off rags, dwelling in the forest and eating only one meal a day.Searching out secluded places in the wilds of Thailand and Laos, heavoided the responsibilities of settled monastic life and spent longhours of the day and night in meditation. In spite of his reclusivenature, he attracted a large following of students willing to endurethe hardships of forest life in order to study with him.
