For a long time, the priest Phra Ajaan Funn Ācāro meandered all through northeastern Thailand, confronting and defeating numerous hardships—wild creatures, absence of nourishment, and repeating infections. Due to his thoughtfulness and quality of character, he built up a following, both lay and appointed. In 1944, he came back to his home town in Phannana Nikhom area and remained in a graveyard close to a neighboring lake. The nearby townspeople set up a little cottage and Dhamma corridor at the spot, and this was the start of Wat Paa Udomsomphorn, the religious community where Ajaan Funn in the long run settled in the most recent many years of his life. Nonetheless, it wasn't until 1964 that he really started spending the Rains there. Meanwhile, he set up religious communities and seclusions in a few isolated spots all through the upper east. These discussions do pass on a feeling of his quality of character, with its unmistakable mix of benevolence and severity. Due to their worth, both as a record of the lessons of the Wilderness Tradition and as moving exercises in the Dhamma, three of them are offered here in interpretation.
