-Than Ajahn Suchart Abhijāto was born in Thailand in 1947 and received a Bachelor's of Science degree in Civil Engineering from California State University before returning to Thailand to manage an ice cream shop in Pattaya. Receiving a copy of [Wheel 186](https://www.bps.lk/olib/wh/wh186_Nyanaponika-etal_Three-Basic-Facts-of-Existence--I-Anicca.html){:target="_blank" ga-event-value="2.1"} from a tourist, he realized the importance of meditation and wrote to the BPS requesting more. He received from them a copy of the [Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta](https://noblepath.info/PDFs/Nyanasatta_The-Foundations-Of-Mindfulness.pdf){:target="_blank" ga-event-value="0.35"} which he then chanted and practiced diligently. Leaving his job in 1974 to meditate full time, he was ordained at Wat Bowon by [Somdet Yan](/authors/yan) himself in 1975 thanks to the help of [Bhikkhu Khantipalo](/authors/mills-laurence) before traveling to Wat Pa Baan Taad where he would train under [Luangta Maha Bua](/authors/boowa) for the next nine years.

-The Kacchapa Jataka is a humorous and risqué story, and one that has likely never been translated into English before. While it pokes fun at Rhesus Macaques and greedy Brahmanas, it also highlights the Bodhisattva's equanimity. The story is translated with light-hearted ribald elements, keeping the intended style of the original, which surely caused hilarity at religious gatherings.

 > The Buddhāpadāna further develops the concept of Buddha-field, in that it speaks of innumerable Buddha-fields in all ten directions in the multiverse. Thus

-This essay features translations by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu of four Apadānas (Sanskrit: Avadānas): the Buddhāpadāna, Therāpadāna 502, Therāpadāna 80, and Therāpadāna 21. Ṭhānissaro provides a concise yet insightful introduction to Apadānas in general and explains the rationale behind his selection of these particular narratives.
