Ebook: A Guide to Buddhist Monasteries and Meditation Centres in Thailand

In 1978 the World Fellowship of Buddhists published a booklet titled A Brief Guide to Meditation Temples of Thailand. It is now out of print, so the W.F.B. is publishing this new one. Since the publication of the first booklet, many changes have taken place.
In publishing this new revised booklet, we have been able to include updated information on monasteries and meditation centres in this country through the painstaking efforts of Mr. Bill Weir. He spent several months in Thailand travelling to various parts of the country visiting monasteries and meditation centres, seeking information on their current meditation practices and instructions. Apart from collecting information on good places for meditation, Mr. Weir has also made some observations in his introduction on the practices in those monasteries which will be of interest and use to foreigners.

We are very grateful to Mr. Weir and, as mentioned in his preface in this booklet, "to the abbots, vice abbots, and teachers who so patiently supplied the many details" and have rendered assistance and courtesy to Mr. Weir.
