Panyanandha and Buddhadasa

[LonesomeYogurt]

Hello there, I'm going to be staying at a Thai Monastery for a short period of time soon. The teacher there states he practices in the tradition of Panyanandha and Buddhadasa. I could find a little information on Buddhadasa's techniques and they don't seem too different from most Thai teachers. I can't, however, find any English information on Panyanandha at all. Does anyone know what tradition Panyanandha would be closest to, or if there is any idiosyncrasy I should prepare for?

Thank you!

Luang Por Panyanandha, was a freind of the "Ajahn Sumedho" monesteries in the UK and visited fairly often. He came across as a very gentle and wise man who had seen a great deal - I remember him relating anecdotes of POW's during WW11.
As I remember talks by Luang Por Panyanandha. they were more general dhamma than going deeply into the specifics of technic.

Who is the teacher?

Who is the teacher?

The man's name is Ajahn Ritthi Thirajitto. It's a small monastery in my area, only four ordained monks. I don't know if you'd be able to find much information about him specifically unless you spoke Thai or something.

you may want to focus on what teachings of his there are available instead of those of others, even if he trained under them.

He would have his own style of teaching, and if you are familiare with his work you have a better chanse of seeing the "quirks" of his teachings.
many people can say they are in the tradition of Ajahn Chah, but that doesn't mean they all teach the same as Ajahn Chah. same can be said of Buddhadasa, I know two people who trained under him and they have very different styles and quirks themselves.
