Abstract: This study begins with the strong need for arriving at a proper understanding of the Most Venerable Mun Bhūridatta Thera’s biography and his teachings. The objectives of the study are as follows: to study practice of meditation in Theravāda Buddhism generally, to study critically the Most Venerable Mun Bhūridatta Thera’s biography and his own method of practice, and to study the impact of the Most Venerable Mun’s method of practice on Thai society and the Buddhist world. Most Venerable Mun Bhūridatta Thera passed away 57 years ago. Many monks who were dedicated to the practice of the Dhamma experienced great difficulty in reaching him. He was fond of wandering around the forests in the Northeastern and Northern regions of Thailand. The reason he preferred living in mountains and forests was that knowledge and understanding of the Dhamma was much more likely to arise under such circumstances. He first began practising bhāvanā by internally repeating the word “Buddho”. After trial and error, he discovered the right method to use during the preliminary work of meditation. His newfound method of mindfulness and contemplation of body were to form the basis of his later progress. Throughout his life, he was able to automatically change the attitude of people from one of little interest to one of high respect and love for the dhutanga kammatthāna monks. Most Venerable Mun used many techniques of contemplation and selftraining. He not only provided the model for Thai kammatthāna monks, but was also a true son of the Buddha, and one who maintained his teachings. In the context of the threefold training, Most Venerable Mun Bhūridatta Thera taught his followers sīla, samādhi, paññā in full. His method of teaching consisted of the three essential doctrines of pariyattisaddhamma, patipattisaddhamma, and pativedhasaddhamma. Most Venerable Mun and his disciples spawned a lineage spanning three generations of teachers and students, who still practise the method of meditation outlined in the Mah satipatthānasutta concerning contemplation of the body. The ecofriendly lifestyle of Most Venerable Mun Bhūridatta Thera and his kammatthāna monks is appropriate to imitate its major principles in order to solve environmental, and other social problems.
