The Ajahn go back to the suttas in a fresh style. He was kicked out of his monastery, now he started a little group, so not boring at all. He reminds a bit Nanavira Thera.

Many of the Western monks seem to be dry rationalists as well, so often they disregard Theravada's rich cosmology, and thereby make the ethos of Theravada much more drab than it really is. Buddhism falls squarly into the Indo-European tradition. To understand the profundity of what the Buddha taught, one needs to live in the 10,000 world system the Buddha described, not the world of Descartes.

Yes, sparks of true genuine thought would be needed. When they come, they often come from enlightened speakers, I believe. <br />"True genuine thought" must not mean that it is claiming to invent the wheel. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
