Title: Doubts about Ajahns
Post by: gus on October 02, 2018, 11:34:56 AM
Okasa bhante,

I would like to get some doubts clarified, about highly regarded ajahns.
And I think many have the same doubts.
This doubts may either become hindrances or sometimes wisdom.

1. Ajahn Mahaboowa:
Is the Eternal Citta he stressed, comply with the Buddh's teachings?
Or is it poor terminology?
Why did he collect gold while even temple monks don't do such things ?
2. Ajahn Mun:
Did he also teach an Eternal Citta?
Had the 'Meeting with Buddha' story told by ajahn mun himself or is it a addition of ajahn mahaboowa?
3.Ajahn Lee:
What about 'money handling in a train like story (not sure my memory)' in his biography?
4.Ajahn Tate:
Why did he involved in social services? (as I read and heard)
5.Ajahn Chah:
Did he teach any eternal citta like ajahn mahaboowa?
If he didn't has he ever taught that it is wrong?
Did he appreciate living in solitude after the years of nissaya?
Are there ascetic forest ajahns in his group?

Vandami.

Okasa khamatu me bhante.

I didn't intend to bother you. Khamatu me bhante!

Yet, I think this is a good query to get answered by any other members in the future. Hope this will become a long thread.

Vandami.
