Ananda Krishnan's son‏

1)    Ajahn was educated in UK, is very eloquent & chose the life of a simple Buddhist  monk 13 years ago.

 

Worth listening to........ "If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer". 

Take a moment to view this video of a simple talk

delivered by Ajahn
Siripanno, the only son of Malaysia’s second richest man who is Ananda
Krishan, who is second generation Sri Lankan Tamil. His mother is Thai. The then youngster refused opportunity to work with his father to expand his father’s empire (personal fortune more than USD 8
billion) and instead walked the path of the Thai forest meditation tradition about 13 years ago. 

His ancestral home, which is preserved till today in Jalan Berhala as a family heritage,

is just across the road from the Buddhist Maha Vihara Brickfields, besides the Klang
river bank. He wanted to test the monk life for two weeks, wanted to
leave on the first day he arrived at the Monastery, still continues to live happily within the Dhamma.
