Who was Phra Acariya Thoon Khippapanno?

[Saengnapha]

Greetings,

Although I've not heard of this bhikkhu before, his writings make for interesting reading.

Does anyone know anything about him?

Metta,
Retro.

I know I am late to the party, but my family and I studied Dhamma practice with Acariya Thoon since 1999 and have been faithful followers of him ever since. I attended his cremation ceremony along with 500,000 other people and we all witnessed his remains become relics. It was a miraculous event. I was so affected by his passing that I ordained five months later on his birthday (May 20) and have been a monk ever since. I have since traveled the world teaching Acariya Thoon's wisdom based contemplation style and have learned a lot myself in my journey. My sister and I have also translated many of his books and are working on translating more.

I would be happy to answer any questions about Acariya Thoon Khippapanyo if anyone has any.

Greetings Bodom,

Greetings,

I was wondering where you were able to find this book? I am trying to find a physical copy to buy but can only find one on Amazon for $56 !!

I can't remember now to be honest! I'll try to remember to dig out my archival box of Dhamma books next time I'm at home and see if I can work it out.

Metta,
Paul.

Apologies, I forgot to do this last night. My eldest son has a sprained foot, and it threw things slightly out of whack.

Do you have an electronic copy, or no copy at all?

Metta,
Paul.

Hey Retro

No problem at all, hope hes ok.

Im actually looking to find a paperback copy of the book. Ive read it online through the link you shared but am trying to find a physical copy for my library. I very much prefer reading books to ebooks, plus I am a sucker for trying to track down and obtain hard to find Dhamma books!

I understand. I was incredibly delighted to source a hardcopy of Nanananda's Nibbana Sermons. Particularly when a book is especially relevant to one's practice it's great to have it electronically for searchability purposes and physically, for general reading purposes. Were that not the case, I doubt I would have read from the Nibbana Sermons on the train this morning.



(... and yes, my son will be fine. It's good it wasn't a break or a fracture.)

Metta,
Paul.

I was curious, so I looked up the books:

Thank you. Dhammatalks.net is a treasure trove.

Glad to here. Sprained ankles are a common thing in my house with my two being as active as they are.
