Luang Por Liem Thitadhammo, abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong, Thailand, and head of the Ajahn Chah Lineage, will be visiting us for a short but special visit. Luang Por Liem is a very revered and special monk whose life exemplifies the tradition of the Noble Ones.
Bodhisaddha Forest Monastery is in the process of casting a bronze Venerable Sīvali statue to enshrine at the Lookout. On Sunday 26th March at 12:00pm, Luang Por Liem will be laying the foundation stone and giving his blessings for the future enshrinement of the statue.
Luang Por Liem was last in Sydney with us in 2018 to bless the consecration of the foundation to the new hall.
We hope that you don’t miss this rare opportunity to pay your respects to Luang Por Liem here in Sydney.

Biography of Luang Por Liem Thitadhammo

Luang Por Liem Ṭhitadhammo is a Buddhist monk in the Thai Forest Tradition. He was born in Sri Saket Province in the Northeast of Thailand on the 5th of November 1941. After higher ordination at twenty years of age, Luang Por practised in several village monasteries throughout the Northeast until he joined the Forest Tradition in 1969. He took up the training under Luang Pu Chah, who later became one of the most famous monks in the country, and whose reputation and influence has continued to spread throughout the world, even today. Living under Luang Pu Chah’s guidance in Wat Nong Pah Pong in Ubon Province, Luang Por Liem soon became one of his closest disciples. After Luang Pu Chah became severely ill in 1982, he entrusted Luang Por Liem to lead the monastery. Shortly thereafter, as Luang Pu Chah’s illness prevented him from speaking, the Sangha of Wat Nong Pah Pong appointed Luang Por Liem to take over the abbotship. He fulfils this duty up to the present day, keeping the heritage of Luang Pu Chah’s Dhamma and characteristic ways of monastic training available for monks, nuns and lay disciples.

Luang Por Liem was given an honorary monastic title by His Majesty the King of Thailand. He is presently known as Tan Chao Khun Pra Tepbhavanavigrom. For the Sangha at Wat Pah Nanachat (Luang Pu Chah’s International Forest Monastery for training monks using English as the language of instruction). Luang Por Liem is not only a dearly respected teacher and guide in the monastic life, but has for the last ten years also conducted every monastic ordination ceremony as the preceptor.
