Ajahn Sucitto

Venerable Ajahn Sucitto is a Buddhist monk (bhikkhu). He entered monastic life in 1975 in Thailand, but since 1978 has been based in Britain. He spent fourteen years training under Ajahn Sumedho, the senior Western disciple of Ajahn Chah, and so is part of that lineage of direct practice. The lineage has an umbrella website forestsangha.org. Ajahn Sucitto himself is based at Cittaviveka Monastery in Chithurst, West Sussex in Southern England.
