About Luang Por Pasanno
Luang Por Pasanno took ordination in Thailand in 1974 with Venerable Phra Khru Ñāṇasirivatana as preceptor. During his first year as a monk he was taken by his teacher to meet Luang Por Chah, with whom he asked to be allowed to stay and train. He served as abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat, an international forest monastery in Thailand, and Abhayagiri, a Forest Monastery in California. In 2018, he stepped back from the role of abbot at Abhayagiri, and now serves as an anchor of wisdom and guidance for the community.
