Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu, also known as Ajaan Geoff (born 1949), is an
American Buddhist monk. Belonging to the Thai Forest Tradition, for 22 years
he studied under the forest master Ajahn Fuang Jotiko (himself a student of
Ajaan Lee). Since 1993 he has served as abbot of the Metta Forest Monastery
in San Diego County, California — the first monastery in the Thai Forest
Tradition in the US — which he cofounded with Ajahn Suwat Suvaco.[1]
Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu is perhaps best known for his translations of the
Dhammapada and the Sutta Pitaka - almost 1000 suttas in all - providing the
majority of the sutta translations for the reference website Access to
Insight,[2] as well as for his translations from the dhamma talks of the
Thai forest ajahns. He has also authored several dhamma-related works of his
own, and has compiled study-guides of his Pali translations.[3]
