Dhammarato is a lineaged teacher who studied under Bhikku Buddhadasa and Achan Pho at Wat Suan Mokh in Southen Thailand as a Bhikkhu for 20 or so years. He is now a tirelessly joyful lay teacher in that tradition. His preferred method of teaching is offering instruction via Skype, and providing select, recorded lessons on his youtube channel as well. However, he is happy to have you come stay on his porch in Southern Thailand and learn Dhamma with him in person too.

In conversation with Dhammarato it becomes clear that happiness is a skill that can be learned and practiced.

Dhammarato does not accept financial donations but asks that we practice generosity by supporting Open Sangha Foundation so we can support students and teachers access and share a Dharma with out barriers.
