This site is a hub. It offers access to written teachings by Ajahn Sucitto (me) and information as to upcoming teaching venues; also there are links to enable you to download audio talks and books, and connect to websites where more of my material, and that of my friends and colleagues, can be found. New articles and books get added from time to time as they are produced.

I am a Buddhist monk (bhikkhu). I entered monastic life in 1975 in Thailand, but since 1978 I’ve been based in Britain. I spent fourteen years training under Ajahn Sumedho, the senior Western disciple of Ajahn Chah, and so I’m part of that lineage of direct practice. The lineage has an umbrella website www:forestsangha.org. I am based at Cittaviveka Monastery in Chithurst, West Sussex, near Petersfield in southern England (cittaviveka.org).  As that site will inform you, you’re welcome to visit the monastery, or apply to stay as a guest.

I am currently away from Cittaviveka but expect to return on March 10.  In December and January I am arranging to offer  monthly Zoom talks c/o Dhamma Stream as hosted by Buddha Dhamma Foundation   (https://www.buddhadhammafoundation.com) of Singapore. I intend to continue this series through March, April and May 2024 so far, I will be spending the Rains (July-November) away from Cittaviveka on personal retreat.

A way to stay in touch with my teachings past, present and future is via Dhamma Tracks – please see below.  It is a bi-weekly (so far) mail-out to subscribers that offers a talk, a guided meditation, an article or quoted passage – and notification of upcoming teaching occasions via video-link, i.e. Zoom.  Dhamma Tracks is free (of course)  and you can easily unsubscribe from it.
