Scratching the surface of what 30 years as a Thai Forrest Monk can teach us about the nature of the mind. This week on FWS we talk with Ajahn James Morrison. 
James was a Buddhist monk from 1990 to 2022. After completing a bachelor’s degree in Eastern religious studies, he lived in Thailand for 15 years undergoing intensive training in meditation and living a life of austere simplicity. During this time, he studied and trained with many of the most famous Buddhist masters of that era.
James is now a recognised meditation master in his own right, based at the Redwood Hermitage in California. He is the author of numerous books, articles and translations, and has extensive experience teaching retreats and mindfulness in daily life.
