World renowned meditation master, The Venerable Phra Ajhan Yantra Amaro, a Thai Buddhist Monk who, after spending more than twelve years in the deep jungle, living in solitude & practicing meditation, has taught and established monasteries around the world. He was  given the monastic name of Phra Ajahn Yantra Amaro in 1974. As a forest monk, he devoted his life to meditation, traveling and  teaching Dhamma throughout Thailand, and  later all over the world. He has established many monasteries in Thailand, and  branches in Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, & the United States. He is currently traveling coast to coast in this country conducting a Y2K Dhamma Tour with 12 other monks.
