Ajahn Dton  (15 Vassa) 

Ajahn Maha Dton Dhirapanno was born in Chonburi, Thailand, in 1967. He graduated as the medical student in Thailand. His maternal 4 uncles and aunties and her mother, are all doctors and his father is an engineer.

After his graduation, he continued with his medical studies from 1994 to 1997 in the American Board of Pediatrics from Children Hospital of Michigan under a scholarship provided by the government of Thailand. During this period, he was awarded The Best of Hospitality Winner. From 1997 to 2000, he furthered his medical research in the Pediatric Endocrinology from Children Hospital Medical Centre, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

After he completed his PhD, he found himself in a meditation retreat in US under the guidance of Ajahn Jayasaro, the abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat. Through this retreat, Ajahn Dton, who was still a layman then, realized that the monastic life is what he had been looking for.

Ajahn Maha Dton Dhirapanno returned to Thailand and went forth in Wat Pah Nanachat. With perseverance, he completed a Buddhist course which entitled him the honour of a “Maha”. (“Maha” signifies proficiency in Grade Three Pali) at present, he is the Buddhist adviser and meditation instructor in hospitals, government departments and schools in the vicinity Wat Pah Bun Lom.
